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.
- 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?
