  1. What could cause Edge to consume RAM x2 of Google's Chrome


    My family had an old PC and has only 4GB of RAM. I tried to do an experiment to optimize usage, so I ran the same page on Chrome and Edge. Edge consumed double the amount of RAM. Chrome consumed ~700MB while Edge consumed ~1400MB with a single tab open which is weird since I heard so much about how Edge consumes less RAM. What could be the cause?

    Google Chrome not working windows 10

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    • Are you facing any issues with Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer?
    • Is the issue confined to Google Chrome?
    • Have you tried uninstalling/re-installing Google Chrome?
    There could be several reasons for this cause. I would suggest you to try the steps below and check the result.

    Uninstall Google Chrome and then re-install

    Press Windows key + X and click Programs & Features

    Right click Google Chrome and click Uninstall

    Re-install Google Chrome and check.

    If the issue still persists, please contact the developer of Google Chrome.

    problem uninstalling google chrome

    Hi,

    Since you already uninstalled Google Chrome using the Programs and Features, Google notifications may still be running in the background processes. We suggest that you follow these steps on how to end the Google Chrome process:

    • On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
    • Select Task Manager.
    • Under Processes, locate Google Notifications or Google Chrome.
    • Right click on them and select End Task.
    • Double check under Programs and Features if Google Chrome is completely gone.

    Let us know if these steps worked.
