Dev channel update to 86.0.601.1 is live
josh_bodner After opening up Microsoft Edge for a while (even during idle), it will spike CPU to 100% for some no reason. It will stay the same until it is killed from Task Manager. This happens on Version 86.0.601.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit). It forces me to use Firefox as of now.
I have sent the feedback but just want to know if it is actually a known issue or not and wonder when it will get fixed.
tulis the next time you see high CPU from Edge, can you hit shift+esc to open the Browser Task Manager and see which process (or processes) are causing it? I suspect it's something on a particular website like a bad ad that's causing it, and if it is, then killing just the offending process should return things to normal.
josh_bodner I had a similar Edge Dev using 100% CPU, unfortunately I was in the middle of something and not able to see which tab it was. I did have Twitter.com open with a bunch of other tabs. Had to close Edge & restart.
