Windows 10: Version 1703: IE11 memory overrun? both 64 & 32-bit in use?

since installing version 1703 I am getting memory-full warnings that I did not get previously. could be pure coincidence, or could be perversity in IE11, which I have mostly favored DUE to its efficiency. I notice that IE will automatically use both 64 bit and 32-bit instances of IE11. Is that normal, for some technical reason I haven't heard of? This zenbook has 8gb of ram and has never shown crowded memory before the upgrade to 1703. I thought Win 10 was supposed to be highly effective at caching to disk [in this case ssd] if need be and avoid such memory thrashing anyway, even on systems with 4gb or even 2?!?

bugs?

for now I will shift to Opera and see if I get similar issues.

this could be a new memory leak in IE11 also... I have not tracked closely, but it could be running a tab so to speak while "sleeping" if many windows are left working

Upgrade internet explorer from 32 bit to 64 bit (currently runnng on a 64 bit Windows 10 pc), How ?

On 64-bit Windows 10, you have both 64-bit and 32-bit IE installed.

What's telling you that you're running 32-bit IE11?

32-bit, 64-bit or Both?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. I understand your concern and I'll be glad to assist you.

So, what's my architecture? Is it 64-bit ALONE or BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit?

If your system has 64-bit then you can install both. But for a 32 bit architecture, you can only install 32-bit operating system not both.

Basically since your system is built on a 64-bit operating system, I recommend you to creation a media using the 64-bit tool.

What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows?

The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a
CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.

Hope this helps. have a great experience with Windows 10.

Regards,
