Microsoft never learns, IT admins rage as a new OneDrive app invades Windows 11 and keeps coming back when you remove it

some of the reasons why it’s not a native app:

it uses 1000 mb of ram instead of 50 mb
if you install binisoft windows firewall control, it wants to get permission to “Microsoft Edge WebView2” when you open it
all the other microshit apps like clipchamp, new outlook, teams, the start menu, the widgets, are all webapps. It’s like they fired anyone that knew how to write code and replaced them with copilot
the library, https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui , is react = web

If you do a native photo gallery and it uses 1000 mb of RAM just to showing 5 screenshots, that means you’re a grossly incompetent coder and that’s even worse
I can’t believe you don’t know this, but Edge is a web browser, used to show web pages.
The start menu is a web app and Microsoft itself even admitted it’s the reason it totally sucks and it will be rewritten native https://www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/21/microsoft-confirms-windows-11-start-menu-performance-boost-shift-to-winui-from-web-based-components/
It’s a UI library for… Drumroll… WebApps!

You really need to ask someone who knows what React is about React lol. It is not a UI for web apps.

Using “web based components” doesn’t make something a web app 🤣.

Is steam a web app?

Microsoft also made and use this……
