    All Web Browsers huge memory leaks on my Laptop after Win 10 Updates


    I have a Lenovo Yoga 700 which I use only for travel or when I house sit. So there was a 4 month gap since I last used it and I believe Win 10 had a huge update (like a new service pak or something version 1903, build 18362535 ). So for the last week or so, Firefox, Chrome, Edge with a basic non-flash website is using over 500 MB of RAM. This also happens when using an brand new blank profile on these browsers with the Roboform and Kapersky extensions removed or disabled.

    Other programs seem to be running at their normal RAM, Thunderbird which I always keep open is at it's typical 200-250 MB.

    Doing anything on a high-resource demand site like facebook, youtube, or NFL.com is nearly impossible.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

    :)

    Possible Memory Leaks in Windows 10

    A memory leak occurs when an application closes and fails to release all its RAM back to the operating system.

    The first step in dealing with a memory leak is to determine which application is leaking memory.

    The next step is to contact that application's technical support with complete details of the memory leak, since the developers will want to fix the problem ASAP.

    Memory leak issue

    The term "memory leak" means that an application fails to return all its RAM to the operating system when it exits. The leftover RAM is unusable to the operating system.

    Step one is to identify the application that is leaking memory. Step two is to contact the application's developers and provide as much detailed data on the memory leak as you can. For example: which processes are still in RAM after the application exits
    and how much RAM they occupy. Application developers never want their applications to leak memory and they will be grateful for the details you provide, particularly if they can replicate the leak on their own computers.
