![]() ![]() Your machine does many things periodically or on a schedule, what is unused now may get used later by background processes such as system updates, virus scans, etc, so it's not so easy to determine what's really unused. Windows will use "unused" ram as cache that will reduce IO and thus reduce power consumption while also improving speed. "Unused" is the key here, and it's not so obvious what's unused. Now RAM usage doesn't cross 7 GB even when Edge takes 2.1 GB. Apparently, I had forgotten to configure some new apps so that they wouldn't run on startup. So since Reddit is definitely not the issue (it is using less RAM than even Gmail), does anyone know how to control RAM usage for Edge (are there any settings that can stop it from being aggressive with RAM usage?)įINAL EDIT: I found the issue. RAM usage is consistently fluctuating which is not what it used to do. Is Windows 10 21H1 the issue here?ĮDIT 2: Wow, now another user says that Reddit is a RAM hog, and Both MS Edge Task Manager and Windows Task Manager say that Edge is not hogging up RAM. That still doesn't explain the high RAM usage. Is Reddit the problem here?ĮDIT: It turns out that the 2.4 GB RAM usage by Edge was just because I was opening many tabs in a short period of time. With just 4 Reddit tabs and 8 non-Reddit tabs, my RAM is at 8.8 GB right now.
