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.
