Microsoft Edge Webview running a lot in task manager

Hi Named

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I'm Hahn and I'm here to help you with your concern.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with Microsoft Edge WebView running multiple processes in the task manager and the weather app displaying ads. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.

Microsoft Edge WebView2 is a component that allows developers to embed web content in their applications. It is possible that the weather app you are using is utilizing this component to display ads.

Regarding the multiple processes of Microsoft Edge WebView2 running in the task manager, this is normal behavior as each process is responsible for rendering a different part of the web content. However, if you find that it is causing performance issues on your device, you can try closing some of the processes or restarting your device.

I recommend trying a clean boot which starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It can be used to determine whether a background service or program is interfering or causing a problem. How to perform a clean boot in Windows - Microsoft Support



These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step.



As for the Microsoft Teams processes running in the task manager, these may be related to the Microsoft Teams app that is installed on your device. If you do not use Microsoft Teams, you can try uninstalling the app to see if it resolves the issue.



Lastly, the Intel(R) Corporation - Extension - 1.0.3045.0 update that you mentioned is a legitimate update from Intel and is not related to the issues you are experiencing.

I hope these steps will help you resolve the issue with Microsoft Edge WebView2 running a lot in task manager. If you have any other questions or feedback, please let me know.

Your Sincerely
