The Windows 11 PC is dying, thanks to cloud-based services and AI
My Windows 11 PC has become increasingly sluggish and unresponsive, and I suspect that it's due to the growing reliance on cloud-based services and AI-powered features. I've noticed that my PC is constantly connected to the internet, consuming valuable system resources and memory, and I'm worried that this trend will eventually lead to my PC's demise, making it unusable for my everyday tasks.

Back up the computer and make a clean install if the device starts to run slow.
Windows 11 does rely on cloud-based services for features like Microsoft Defender, Windows Update, and other services. These services can consume system resources and memory, especially if your internet connection is not stable or fast enough.
