Windows 11 possibly causing Edge and other browsers to crash
Hi there, since a few weeks same problem. As soon as I use two internet usages (e.g. downloading something like Windows updates) and browsing in another browser, everything does not respond, hangs or crashes, sometimes with the message that I should not have enough memory (8Gb). I have running TaskManager simultaneously and saw that, when "internet crashes", memory is only used around 50%.
I was hoping for a solution, but I'm feeling better that more people have this problem, I thought it was only me by overusing the laptop. Using Brave, Chrome, FireFox, Opera, all having same problems. And I did not forget mentioning using Edge, as I'm not happy with Edge and not using that browser.
Specs: Lenovo Ideapad, Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz 1.80 GHz, 8Gb, Win11 Home 21H2, 22000.918, Dutch language. I hope that MS will resolve the problems, as I'm thinking of returning to W10.
- Hi! Same issue here... So frustrating. All browsers crash simultaneously (sometimes after some temporary black window). Sometimes the issue is reflected also to the Windows UI, showing me glitched border on some windows. I will do a scannow but I'm not very confident it will work... Any news from you?
- I have went from windows 10 to windows 11 a few months ago also to improve gaming with HDR. Which is a great feature. But the last few weeks I also encountered the same problem. With all browsers I tried, Edge, Chrome, Opera, they all eventually start to freeze up when opening a new Tab and try to Google something. Sometimes playing a video. I tried reinstalling them and it helps for a bit but it all comes back. I though it might be a driver issue but it must have to di with Windows 11 if I see all these complaints. Even if I have 8-9 tabs open it should not be a problem with 32gb ram on a Ryzen 5000 system and a rather fast graphics card. I just can't figure it out! Very frustrating! I will try some of the tips I read here. Any solutions Microsoft?
