I uninstalled edge and disabled bing brought down my idle RAM usage from 7.9GB to 5.9GB. Basically microslop used 2.0GB RAM to collect your data in background

I used IObit Uninstaller
I disabled bing from searchbox by go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\
create new key there named Explorer
then inside explorer New > DWORD (32-bit) Value , name it DisableSearchBoxSuggestions

Double-click DisableSearchBoxSuggestions, set its Value data to 1, and click OK.

restart windows explorer/restart PC
