[severity:I'm unable to use this version]
When I tried to use the API **AutomationElement.RootElement.FindAll** , I noticed that there is a huge memory spike in the process memory in Windows 11 at idle state. However when I use the same API in Windows 10, there is no issue. I have attached a simple console application replicating the problem. Just run it on Windows 10 and 11.You will see the difference.
