Hello guys!

 

Well just have a look at the screenshot I've attached!

CPU, Memory etc... are running at almost max capacity.

Why?

 

Notes-

As of now, I only have 2 tabs open in only 1 Edge window (Google and LTT). No other application is running in the foreground.

The entire performance has dropped significantly, I tried restarting, running Anti-virus and anti-malware and restarted again. Still the same!

I have disabled many non-essential apps from running on startup.

 

Please help me!

Seems to be a bug with W10. Do you have a restore point or backup you could restore from?

Yea I have a restore point.

Windows installed new updates yesterday!

I think I'll roll back and disable auto update for a couple of weeks.

Have you tried switching to other browser? It might work.

That Microsoft Edge sure uses lots of resources.

@DimasRMDO I only have Edge and IE

Try downloading them, I might have to agree that it's a bug, but try other browser first (just download them).

Well, I tried system restore, but it says that its unable to restore!

 

And this problem can't be seen when running other programs that I use! (Even if I open 20 of them), and doesn't affect gaming!

 

So I guess I'll just report it to Microsoft and wait for an update!

 

Thanks everyone for your help!
