If you are familiar with the Task Manager in Microsoft Edge, which can be opened by pressing Shift+Esc while in Microsoft Edge or by going to the top corner of the browser and selecting Settings and more (…) > More tools > Browser task manager, you will see that the improvements made to Windows Task Manager look similar. Dedicated workers/service workers: Functionality of a tab may break.Crashes in Microsoft Edge may be reported by other means. Crashpad processes: Process will close.Extension and plug-in processes: A balloon will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen saying the extension or plug-in has crashed and will ask you if you would like to reload the extension or plug-in.For invisible subframes, you likely won’t see a difference, but the page may be affected in some way. If the process contains tabs, all the tabs in the process will be replaced with an error page saying, “This page is having a problem.” If the process contains subframes, the visible subframes will be replaced with a crashed tab icon. Renderer processes: Process will close.For example, when the GPU process is closed, your Microsoft Edge window will briefly go black and will return to normal once the process is restarted and when the audio utility process is closed, if you are listening to music, your audio will briefly stop and will return to normal once the process is restarted. When the processes close, you may see a brief change in your Microsoft Edge window. GPU process, utility processes: Processes will close and restart.Browser process: All processes related to that instance of Microsoft Edge will close.When ending tasks, depending on the process that you are ending, you will see different behaviors. You can only close processes, not individual items in Windows Task Manager. When clicking ‘End Task’, all rows that are highlighted when a process is expanded will be closed. When expanded, the resource usage for the remaining rows will remain blank. Since multiple items share a process, the item that has the arrow next to it will show you the total resource usage for that process. Items that correspond to a single process have no arrow next to the icon. There are multiple ways to distinguish which items are in their own process and which items share a process. Some processes contain multiple items and will be represented by multiple lines in Windows Task Manager. Rows under Microsoft Edge in Windows Task Manager are not always a separate process. All dedicated workers and service workers will be listed.For subframes (typically used for ads), you will see the word ‘subframe’, followed by the subframe’s URL.For tabs you will see the word ‘tab’, and the site name and icon (Note: For InPrivate tabs, site name will be removed and icon will updated to a default tab icon).For the utility, plug-in, and extension processes, you will see the process type and the name of the service, plug-in, or extension.For the browser process, GPU process and crashpad process, you will see the process type with a descriptive name and icon (such as “Browser,” “GPU Process,” or “Crashpad.).Improvements for Microsoft Edge in Windows Task ManagerĬurrently, when you open Windows Task Manager and expand Microsoft Edge on the Processes tab, you see a list of processes named Microsoft Edge. Our goal with these improvements is to allow you to better understand where your resources are going and to help you make educated decisions when you experience a performance issue. The changes are now available to insiders who are selfhosting Windows 11 and are in the Edge 94 Stable release. With that in mind, we have made improvements to how Microsoft Edge is represented in Windows Task Manager.
Not understanding what is happening on your computer can be a very frustrating situation and we want to improve this experience for you while using Microsoft Edge. When you open Windows Task Manager, you struggle to understand what is using your browser’s resources, so you find yourself randomly closing tabs in hopes that it will fix your performance issue.
You’re not sure what’s causing the issue, so you open Windows Task Manager to try and diagnose the issue. Let’s imagine that one day you are browsing the internet and suddenly your computer starts to slow down, your fan turns on and your computer gets hot. We’re also working to help you understand how Microsoft Edge is using the resources on your device to deliver fast, efficient web browsing.
To help ensure the browser doesn’t slow you down, we always keep performance in mind as we continue to improve Microsoft Edge. Performance is essential to your success, which makes it core to ours.
