I almost hate Microsoft with a passion, but I couldn't simply spew such gigantic BS that Win 11 uses almost 8 GB of RAM idling. Maaaybe if you have 128 GB of RAM and if you also have a lot of extra bloatware, then maaaaybe you can reach that.
But a clean Win 11, even with 128 GB (it matters how much total you have, as Windows will try to prefetch and cache things if you have extra/spare RAM, which is GOOD) I don't think it reaches that much.
My Win 10 was at about 3.6 GB of RAM un startup, and I have 64 GB of RAM in total. And I don't have a clean installation, this Win 10 was never reinstalled, it's still the same (but upgraded to Pro at one point) that came with the laptop, almost 8 (yes, eight) years ago.
