    RAM creeps up, RAMMap says Chrome running 7,000+ processes when closed


    Hello all,

    Over the last several weeks I’ve noticed my baseline RAM (i.e. when everything is closed) creeping higher than usual over time. I know this is completely normal and nothing a reboot can’t fix. But whereas before my baseline might get up to 30% (of 16 gb) after a month, now it’s up to around 40% after a week.

    I think the culprit is Chrome. Using RAMMap I found that it was running thousands of processes even though it was closed (see screen capture). I did a rough count and it came to about 7,280 -- page after page after page of chrome.exe processes using anywhere from 20k to over 5,000k. Chrome is not set to run in the background (see Resource Monitor portion of screen capture).

    This is not a performance issue, obviously. But it is different behavior as far as I can tell, and any time something on my computer is behaving differently I want to make sure nothing is wrong.

    So, two questions: what on earth is going on with Chrome running so many processes even though it is closed? And is there any way to stop this from happening besides rebooting?

    Thanks.
