Chrome & Edge Tab Crashing (Memory Issues)

I am regular user of Chrome although I also use Edge too

For months, I was seeing Chrome tabs crash, and I did not even have as much as a half dozen open. Edge tabs would also crash when I occasionally used that browser.

I thought it was related to a dying HDD, so I replaced storage with a SSD (first time for this storage type for nearly 8-year old laptop)

And I am still seeing the crashing of Chrome tabs

Here's what's been done

• Chrome troubleshooting suggested pulling out extensions, not that I had very many anyway. The only extensions I have in now are Google's own: Application Launcher for Google Drive, Web Developer, and LastPass password manager. And extensions would not be an issue causing the tab crashes in Edge either.
• windows memory diagnostic: no errors results in Event Viewer
• sfc /scannow : no integrity violations found
• drivers: video adapter was the only recently needed update, which corrected major problems when SSD installed; all other drivers current
• Often, closing the browser and restarting it makes it work for a while, and then the symptoms appear again (memory leaking? no, couldn't be: we don't live in the mid-1990s using Windows 9x)

Another thing I have noticed: windows of all kinds, but sometimes just the tabs on the browser, can be unresponsive to mouse cursor clicking to bring window in focus. When I open the Task Manager, the ability of the mouse cursor to activate/focus windows/tabs is completely restored. I haven't figured that out yet, and it might be related to the browser memory issues.

It is an 8-year old laptop, but I have no indication that hardware is failing in any respect but the usual end of life on HDDs I have used in past.

Chrome tabs crash regularly

Hello richard.



Welcome to Microsoft Community.



Regarding to your information I assume that your Chrome tabs crash regularly.

In general, from the article of this event this error should not affect the running of Chrome.

• These errors don't adversely affect functionality
  
• Modifying the permissions can have unintended side effects.
  

You can get detail information of this event in this link.

Event ID 10016 is logged in Windows - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn

If you would like to see if you can resolve the issue, you can try referring to the following link to see if it can help.

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID - Microsoft Q&A

Moreover, according to what you mentioned, both Windows 10 and Windows 11 have this issue, even with a fresh installation of Windows 10.

Therefore, I suggest you try to check the crash reports saved by Chrome itself.



You can visit this website to see if there are any related reports and then contact Google to have them analyze the cause of the Chrome crash.

If there is anything not clear, please do not hesitate to let me know.
