    MS Edge on my WinPhone 10 crashes since a few days.

    MS Edge has always worked fine on my beloved Lumia 735. Unfortunately, since a few days, Edge stops running after some scrolling and closes itself.

    I found on some MS Help on line the suggestion to clear Edge History and I did so, but now Edge doesn't start at all or, if started, it closes itself immediately.

    • How could I fix this sudden problem?

    MS-Edge consuming RAM even after closing it completly

    Edge on Windows 10 consumes all my RAM and then hangs my system.

    Has anyone else experienced Edge consuming all RAM such that had to pull the power plug out of wall to be able to restart?

    I have 64GB of RAM on my workstation and Edge only had a couple of tabs open and consumed 96GB of RAM. Appears that Edge has a memory leak as well as serious lack of internal controls. Never had this problem with Windows 7.

    Before I downgrade, are there any settings that I can use which will prevent Edge from consuming beyond a certain limit of RAM and of CPU?
