Eventually, memory fragmentation may lead to complete loss of (application-usable) free memory. Memory fragmentation is a kernel programming level problem. During real-time computing of applications, fragmentation levels can reach as high as 99%, and may lead to system crashes or other instabilities.
It eventually reached 79.79% on 5 October 2021, the same day on which its successor Windows 11 was released. In the United States, usage of Windows XP has dropped to 0.38% (of all Windows versions), and its global average to 0.59%, while in Africa it is still at 2.71%, and in Armenia it is more than 70%, as of 2017.

Another memory trick to calculate the allowed downtime duration for an "-nines" availability percentage is to use the formula seconds per day. For example, 90% ("one nine") yields the exponent 4 − 1 = 3 {\displaystyle 4-1=3} , and therefore the allowed downtime is 8.64 × 10 3 {\displaystyle 8.64\times 10^{3}} seconds per day.
Uptime is a measure of system reliability, expressed as the period of time a machine, typically a computer, has been continuously working and available.Uptime is the opposite of downtime.

This often leads to trade-offs, where enhancing one metric may come at the expense of another. One popular example is space-time tradeoff, reducing a program’s execution time by increasing its memory consumption. Conversely, in scenarios where memory is limited, engineers might prioritize a slower algorithm to conserve space.
Starting with Windows Server 2022 and Windows 11, the boot environment natively supports ReFS, allowing the system to be installed and run in a special way on a volume formatted with ReFS v3. If it is a volume formatted with ReFS v1, it cannot be booted with ReFS.
Refreshing does not employ the normal memory operations (read and write cycles) used to access data, but specialized cycles called refresh cycles which are generated by separate counter circuits and interspersed between normal memory accesses.
