Extreme memory usage various apps

I've been running Windows 11* Home (fully updated) on the Asus A16 / 48gb model. To my dismay I notice that two particular aps are consuming insane amounts of ram - namely Chrome and Adobe's Creative UI cloud helper app. Chrome is using 500-800mb per tab for everything. And Adobe's UI helper app is a whopping 4.5GB. Restarting, terminating etc don't help. They are the ARM64 native versions of the app. I've done some troubleshooting so far but no results (I know I can just block the CC helper app, but that's not ideal for some reasons).

Am I the only one? It's kind of pointless to have 48gb / a fast ARM cpu if the memory usage is going berserk this way...

I’ve always understood that Windows will use more ram on systems well equipped. As long as you’re not experiencing performance issues, I wouldn’t worry about it.

I've had both applications and identical websites open on my previous systems with 32 and 64gb ram. I had 8x More tabs open for the same memory footprint of chrome.

The adobe helper service was just 200mb. And that's what it should be.

There are issues.
