Now it's easy for me to see that notepad.exe in Windows 11 requires 126 mb of ram. Yay, I can become enraged with only a single keypress! Remember when Notepad couldn't even load documents larger than 64 kb?

@fastfinge Well, you could always run the old version of notepad. Go to Settings > Apps > Advanced app settings > App execution aliases ,
tab to the list of programs, arrow down to toggle off Notepad. Now if you go to the run command and launch notepad, it should be the old one..

@fastfinge Does it sum up memory usage by process with the same name, or from a process tree? E.g. if I press it in Chrome, is it going to tell me the usage of the main process, a random renderer, or Chrome in general?

@jscholes A random renderer, it looks like. It seems to grab whatever process is associated with the current window handle.

@jscholes Yeah it's just calling psutil.Process(focus.appModule.processID).memory_info().rss

@fastfinge @jscholes In Chrome, the process associated with the window handle (either the top-level chrome window or the child content window) is actually the browser process.

@fastfinge Wow! Windows 11 version of Notepad using 126 MB of RAM? That's just insanely ridiculous! Just that one app alone would just barely have fit into the entirety of the 128 MB of RAM in my computer circa 2001. And for reference, the Windows 10 version of Notepad uses 21.65 MB of RAM.
