Chrome slowing down my PC

[Mike87]

Hi all,

 

just a short question. I am using chrome at work and I often have a lot of tabs open over the day (around 10-20). Also I keep the PC running over night and restart about every 3-5 Days because the PC gets too slow.

I noticed that when my pc runs slow, it helps to just close chrome and reopen it, it also gives back a bunch of RAM. 

 

So my question: Is there some way to do a refresh in chrome? I do not want to close the process tree because I also have more than one Chrome window open... and when I close Chrome, I have to reconfigure the positions of the tabs over my 3 screens... I am looking kind of a function like on the android, with the "optimize" where it clears up unneeded RAM. 

Or maybe is it possible to keep chrome slim on RAM? It is using about 3 GB on my pc... I have 8GB

 

BTW: Windows 10, 1709, x64

 

Thanks!
