虽然Microsoft Edge使用与 Chrome 浏览器相同的Chromium引擎^(Chrome)，但CPU^{(Chromium Engine)}和^(CPU)RAM的^(RAM)使用量大大减少。也就是说，Edge浏览器仍有可能开始消耗更多资源，而这正是该指南派上用场的地方。这篇文章提供的建议将在Microsoft Edge进入高内存使用^{(high memory usage)}情况的情况下为你提供帮助。

Microsoft Edge 高内存使用率

假设您在使用Edge^(Edge)浏览器时发现计算机或浏览速度变慢，最好先进行调查。

打开任务管理器^{(Task Manager)}（Ctrl + Shift + Esc），然后按内存使用情况对其进行排序。

• 如果它不是Edge消耗进程和内存，则需要检查该应用程序。
• 如果是Edge浏览器，我们来看看更多细节。

使用 Edge 浏览器任务管理器^{(Use Edge Browser Task Manager)}检查选项卡内存使用情况^{(Tab Memory Usage)}

您^(Did)知道浏览器还提供内置任务管理器吗？它可以帮助您了解每个打开的选项卡消耗了多少内存。这很重要，因为特定网站可能会占用很多资源，这可能会减慢体验。

在 Edge 浏览器上，按Shift+Esc，调出浏览器的任务管理器。它将显示所有任务，包括浏览器^(Browser)、GPU进程、网络服务^{(Network Service)}、音频^(Audio)、视频服务以及每个选项卡和扩展的内存使用情况。

也就是说，Microsoft Edge 团队对^{(Microsoft Edge Team)}浏览器^(Browser)中每个进程可以占用多少内存有自己的建议。以下是每个过程应采用的最大值列表：

• 浏览器^(Browser)进程：400 MB。当您打开更多选项卡时，可以将其向上推。
• 渲染器^(Renderer)进程：500 MB。播放视频、社交新闻提要等。
• 子帧进程：75 MB。如果有复杂的广告，尤其是播放视频的广告，这可以扩展。
• GPU进程：1.75GB
• 实用程序：30 MB
• 扩展进程和插件进程：15-0 MB

Windows会保留一定数量的内存，以便在需要时派上用场。它也称为提交费用^{(Commit charge)}，基于页面大小^{(Page Size)}的数量。当Edge启动时，它会请求提交的内存空间，Windows 通过Page Size或Virtual Memory提供它。这都是动态的，所以即使一个程序要求 3 GB 并且只使用 500 MB，其余的仍然是免费的。

影响Edge内存使用的因素

许多因素会影响内存使用。这包括：

• 选项卡数，
• 广告
• 浏览器扩展
• 内容
• 屏幕分辨率
• 窗口大小
• 编号或浏览器窗口。

如何减少Edge中的内存使用量？

如果您看到任何打开的选项卡或扩展程序与其他s^(s)相比占用大量内存，请将其关闭或卸载扩展程序。一旦关闭，资源使用量下降，那么问题就在于该选项卡中打开的任何内容。确保^(Make)与我们刚刚在上面分享的值进行比较。

确定Microsoft Edge^{(Microsoft Edge)}中是否有任何后台进程或非活动选项卡正在消耗的第二种方法是查看私有^(Private)工作集。将其视为Edge Process的一个子部分，并且根据Microsoft的说法，私有工作集中超过 80% 的提交，即不是活动选项卡，将被视为过多。

关键字是 Active Tab，这也意味着有一个选项卡在后台占用太多内存是有问题的。

为了弄清楚哪个占用了大部分已提交的内存，我们将使用资源管理器^{(Resource Manager)}和浏览器的任务管理器。

 在“开始^(Start)”菜单  中键入“资源监视器”，然后在列表中单击以启动，按名称^{(Resource Monitor)}排序^(Sort)，以便您可以看到msedge.exe进程和提交大小。

接下来，在Edge浏览器上，使用Sift+Esc打开浏览器的任务管理器。右键单击列，然后选择PID、Commit Size、Memory（私有^(Private)工作集）、Name、Status、User Name和CPU

注意PID，它会占用大量资源，然后切换到Windows 任务管理器^{(Windows Task Manager)}。如果进程的私有工作集大于您提交的 80%，则关闭它。此外，您需要向Microsoft报告。

如果Edge^(Edge)显示高内存或CPU使用率，您可以尝试其他操作

• ^{(Clear Edge browser cache)}定期清除 Edge 浏览器缓存
• 删除不需要的浏览器扩展、插件和主题^{(Remove unwanted browser extensions, addons, and themes)}
• 重置 Microsoft Edge 浏览器^{(Reset Microsoft Edge browser)}
• 使用设置中的修改^(Settings)Modify/Reinstall按钮。
  • 打开Settings > Apps > Apps和功能并搜索Edge。按修改^(Modify)。这将重新安装Edge，您将在桌面上看到一个新图标。
• 如果没有任何帮助，请下载并全新安装 Microsoft Edge^{(download and fresh-install Microsoft Edge)}。

总而言之——浏览器可能会占用大量资源并降低计算机速度，但浏览器可能不会出错。它可能是一个打开的选项卡、一个在后台运行的扩展程序，或者是一个网站，其中的广告会减慢计算机的速度。弄清楚它的唯一方法是检查它是否正在占用资源并关闭它。

有时， GPU、音视频^{(Audio-video)}服务、网络服务等进程可能出现故障。在这种情况下，重新启动浏览器可能会有所帮助。

也就是说，如果您需要保持网站打开，我建议您关闭其他选项卡并使用它们。您也可以使用其他浏览器，检查问题是否仍然存在，然后完成工作。

我希望这篇文章能帮助你弄清楚为什么你的Microsoft Edge会导致高内存使用。

Fix Microsoft Edge High Memory Usage in Windows 11/10

While Microsoft Edge uses the same Chromium Engine as the Chrome browser, the CPU and RAM usage is drastically less. That said, it is still possible that the Edge browser may start consuming more resources, and that’s where the guide will come in handy. This post offers suggestions that will help you in situations where Microsoft Edge gets into a high memory usage situation.

Microsoft Edge High Memory Usage

Assuming you see the computer or browsing getting slow while using the Edge browser, it’s a good idea first to investigate.

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), and sort it by memory usage.

• If it is something other than Edge consuming process and memory, you need to check on that application.
• If it is the Edge browser, let’s take a look into more details.

Use Edge Browser Task Manager to check Tab Memory Usage

Did you know the browser also offers a built-in task manager? It helps you know how much memory each open tab is consuming. That’s important because a particular website may be taking many resources, which could slow the experience.

When on Edge browser, press Shift+Esc, to bring up the browser’s task manager. It will reveal all the tasks, including the Browser, GPU process, Network Service, Audio, video services, and memory usage of each tab and the extensions.

That said, the Microsoft Edge Team has its own recommendation on how much memory each of these processes inside the Browser can take. Here is the list of maximum each of these processes should take:

• Browser process: 400 MB. This can be pushed up as you open more tabs.
• Renderer process:  500 MB. Playing video, social news feeds, and more.
• Subframe process: 75 MB. This can extend if there are complex ads, especially those playing videos.
• GPU Process: 1.75GB
• Utility process: 30 MB
• Extension process and plug-in processes: 15-0 MB

Windows reserves an amount of memory that can come in handy when it’s needed. It is also called as Commit charge and is based on the amount of Page Size. When Edge launches, it asks for committed memory space, and Windows offers it through Page Size or Virtual Memory. This is all dynamic, so even if a program asks for 3 GB and utilizes only 500 MB, the rest is still free.

Factors that impact Edge memory usage

A lot of factors impact memory usage. It includes:

• Number of tabs,
• Advertisements
• Browser extensions
• The content
• Screen resolution
• Window size
• Number or browser windows.

How to reduce the memory usage in Edge?

If you see any open tab or extensions taking a lot of memory compared to others, close it, or uninstall the extension. Once you close, and the resources usage drops, then the problem is with whatever was open in that tab. Make sure to compare to the value we just shared above.

A second method to figure out if any background process or inactive tab in Microsoft Edge is consuming is to look through the Private work set. Consider this as a subpart of the Edge Process, and according to Microsoft, more than 80% of a commit in the private working set, and that is not the active tab, would be considered excessive.

The keyword is the Active Tab, which also means there is a tab that is taking too much memory in the background is problematic.

To figure out which is taking most of the committed memory, we will use the Resource Manager and the Browser’s task manager.

Type Resource Monitor in the Start menu, and click to launch once it is in the list,  Sort by name so you can see the msedge.exe process and the commit size.

Next, on the Edge browser, use Sift+Esc to open the browser’s task manager. Right-click on the columns, and select PID, Commit Size, Memory (Private working set), Name, Status, User Name, and CPU

Note the PID, which takes a lot of resources, and then switch to Windows Task Manager. If the process’s private working set is greater than 80% of your commit, then close it. Also, you will need to report it to Microsoft.

Other things you can try if Edge shows high memory or CPU usage

• Clear Edge browser cache regularly
• Remove unwanted browser extensions, addons, and themes
• Reset Microsoft Edge browser
• Use the Modify/Reinstall button in Settings.
  • Open Settings > Apps > Apps and features and search for Edge. Press Modify. This will reinstall Edge, and you will see a new icon placed on the desktop.
• If nothing helps, download and fresh-install Microsoft Edge.

To summarize – A browser can become resource-hungry and slow down a computer, but the browser might not be at fault. It could be an open tab, an extension running in the background, or a website which advertisement which slows down the computer. The only way to figure it out is to check if it is taking resource and close it.

At times processes like GPU, Audio-video service, network service might be at fault. In that case, restarting the browser might help.

That said, if you need to keep the website open, I would suggest you close other tabs and work with them. You can also use another browser, check if the issue persists, and get the work done.

I hope the post helped you figure out why your Microsoft Edge caused high memory usage.
