RELATED: While working on a family member's PC, which is running Microsoft Windows 10 Professional edition, I found performance was slow while I was trying to lookup some information in a tab in the Microsoft Edge browser. When I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del and brought up the Windows Task Manager, clicked on the Performance tab, then clicked on Memory to view thememory utilization, I saw that most of the system's memory was being consumed,which would contribute to poor performance, if information needs to be swappedin and out of memory to disk while I'm switching between open applications.CPU utilization was also, high.

When I clicked on Details and then clicked on the 'Memory (privateworking set)' column header to order the processes by memory consumption,I saw that the 7 topmost consumers of memory were MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe processes, i.e., Microsoft Edge web browser processes.

When I opened a command prompt window and used thetasklistcommand to view information on the MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe processesrunning on the system, I saw the following:

To have just the amount of memory displayed for each process, I useda FOR /F loop - seeChecking on process memoryconsumption on a Windows system for details on using the loop to viewjust processes memory consumption.

Checking the total memory usage for all Microsoft Edge MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe processes with the showmemusage.bat batch file, I saw the following. Note, memory usage by processes may fluctuate over time, so you may get different figures when you check at different times.

So Microsoft Edge was using over 5 GB of the system's 8 GB of memory atthe moment I ran the batch script. But the main question I had was which Microsoft Edge tabs were responsible for the highest memory utilization. I.e., how could I associate aprocess ID with the web page open in a particular tab.

The Windows Task Manager doesn't provide that capability, but anothertool available from Microsoft, Process Explorer, can provide information to match a process ID with a system at the other end of a network connection. The utility can be downloaded from Microsoft at Process Explorer. When I ran that program, I saw the following information:

When I double-clicked on the Microsoft Edge process using the most memory, PID 4128, to see details, and then clicked on the TCP/IP tab for that process, Process Explorer didn't show any network connections for that process, though.

However, when I double-clicked on the process with PID 3232 to see details for that process and then clicked on the TCP/IP tab and unchecked 'Resolve Addresses' to see the IP address for the remote system, i.e., the IP address for the web server to which the process connected, rather than the fully qualified domain name (FQDN), I saw it was connected to 72.45.50.168 on port 80, the port commonly used for unencrypted web server connections.

But checking the FQDN associated with that IP address with nslookup, Icouldn't immediately identify the web server at the other end of the connectionwith an open tab in Micrsofot Edge.

While trying to identify the culprit tabs associated with the highestmemory usage, I closed a couple of tabs and then when I was about to checkon another one, Microsoft Edge crashed. All of the Microsoft Edge processesdisappeared and the memory and CPU usage plummeted.

Like the author of the article Microsoft Edge is a system hog and cannot be called 'power efficient',I haven't found Microsoft Edge to be better at handling memory than otherbrowsers nor reliably stable. E.g., Microsoft Edge High Memory and CPU Utilization.

When I reopened Microsoft Edge, the previously opened tabs opened automatically, but I saw no increase in CPU usage and only a very modest increase in memory usage.

When I used the netstat command afterwards to check on whether connections tothe 72.45.50.168 IP address were still listed, I saw the following:

But I still couldn't link any open tab in the Microsoft Edge browser toa webpage open at that IP address. Since I had previously installedWiresharkon the system for troubleshooting a network problem, I decided to use itto try to link a Microsoft Edge tab to a connection to that IP address.When I opened Wireshark, I found a newer version was available, so Iinstalled the latest version of it. If Wireshark hadn't already been present onthe system, I would have used HTTPSniffer from NirSoft, since, for thisparticular issue, it could provide a comparatively simiple way for meto look for a URL associated with an IP address.

When I opened Wireshark, I set the capture filter to be host 72.45.50.168 for the 'Local Area Connection', since thatwas the network interface for the traffic.

I then clicked on Capture and selected Start to startcapturing network traffic to/from the specified IP address.

But I didn't see any traffic.

And when I then checked for connectivity to the IP address again usingnetstat, netstat wasn't showing any connectivity at that time.

The Task Manager wasn't showing any process consuming an excessiveamount of memory, either.

So, in this instance, I was not able to pinpoint a website linked toa Microsoft Edge process consuming excessive memory, but I'm noting steps thatcan be taken to try to make such identifications and to calculate the totalamount of memory being used by Microsoft Edge processes.
