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?
