EDIT: It has fixed itself! After a few hours and a reboot, I'm now getting proper 2-3% CPU usage when Edge is unfocused.

 

 

 

 

Original post:

 

 

Unfortunately, I am still getting high CPU usage when Edge is idle (i.e., unfocused)

 

Five identical tabs (YouTube, this forum, Edge Insider home page, browser search engine, and Slickdeals.net homepage) + unfocused state + 60 second test:

 

 

Edge has constant 2x to 3x higher CPU usage across 6 cores, even on this latest version 76.0.167.1. This higher CPU usage translates to a higher CPU boost frequency, which translates to higher temperatures, which translates to louder fans. 

 

I've sent this via the Smiley, too. I hope MS can get this CPU usage back down to levels before the 76.0.159.0 Dev build's CPU over-usage.

ikjadoon Interesting. The idle usage for me is down to 0%, when before it was above 0. I wonder why that is.
