Windows 10: Microsoft Edge High CPU Usage when Clicking the Search & URL Tab

Hello. I noticed that my most visited websites (when you left click the search / URL tab in Edge) doesn't show up anymore. I also noticed a strange behavior most likely related to this: the CPU usage went up 40% when I clicked on it and when I visit new websites. It only lasts for 5-7 Seconds and then it goes down to normal usage (1-5%). This issue randomly appeared and without an update through WU. I can also see this problem on my laptop so it's not an exclusive issue on this computer. Have anyone else seen this? I'm on the latest Windows 10 version (non-insider build).

Microsoft Edge High CPU Usage

I am facing the same situation with high CPU usage in Microsoft Edge when using outlook.office.com website (Office 365 web app). For me especially
irritating is situation when I click to reply to an e-mail message. This causes a few (or sometimes even
over a dozen) seconds of delay while loading the content of the message I am replying to. Also when I copy some text and then I paste it into e-mail message draft I have to wait few seconds to see the effect.

Similar problem with Microsoft Edge performance (other website on a laptop with Intel processor) is mentioned here (but also with no answer):

Microsoft Edge - High CPU Usage

I have desktop PC with AMD A10-7890K Radeon R7 and 16GB RAM using Windows 10.0.14393.105 (with Anniversary Update). What I have narrow down is that in Process Explorer on MicrosoftEdge.exe properties window (Threads tab) the highest CPU usage is generated
by eMode.dll thread. But what else can I do with it?

 

Excessive CPU usage by IE 11

You mention high memory usage, how high? Then you mention CPU usage at below 7%, could you please explain in more detail.?

A screenshot of your Task Manager, showing the Memory & CPU usage when running several IE tabs (as in image below, with Memory selected) , would be helpful?

 

No one? Two major updates later and no fix or solutions? I've seen this behavior now on all PC's that I own and my friends own. Maybe it is an issue per region? I dunno, but this is an odd one to figure out. Just clicking at address bar at the top doesn't bring down my recently visited websites, and the CPU usage goes up when it happens.

 

The issue is now resolved. It did so on its own. It had something to do with region based Bing search engine that locked up, which happened when I clicked the search/URL bar in Edge.
