Re: Chrome Windows 10 Out Of Memory
Tanja Freeze
I have chrome open with much more than 67 tabs. Being a work computer i dont shut it down as i might need to take access at any time. On my earlier system with similar specs I also used to have as many tabs open but never faced any issues. Normally the disk utilization is not 100% its normally between 0 to 10%. I rebooted the system today and Chrome is taking the same amount of ram but the total usage is much much less. Below is the screenshot.chrome.png685680 39 KB
I have had this with Chrome and firefox using high amount of RAM, ice just started to use Edge Chromium and that seems to use far less RAM with 15 to 20 tabs opened compared to either firefox or chrome

To blame Chrome on its own is not fair. For instance, at the moment, I am using a Chromebook with just 2 GB of RAM and 44 tabs open and all is well.This is not particularly special as I often use a more regular Linux Distro with 2 GB of RAM with many tabs open and no problem. Your 16 GB of RAM is equal to the SSD storage capacity of many laptops.
I did a test with Edge Chromium, Firefox and Google. Opened the same five pages and after a few minutes checked the resources used. Edge used less. Might want to give Edge Chromium a try as it is nothing like to old one.
If you are going to run all this stuff, you need a lot more RAM. I see no reason to suspect a memory leak here or an anti-virus issue. You obviously have this workstation doing too much work that should be more controlled and segregated.
So my 12gb of ram will get up to around 93% used because of Chrome, now I can close chrome down and restore the same amount of windows and tabs and it will only use about 25% of memory, it then over time increases back up to the 90% zone after several hours.
It seems that when I close tabs, instead of freeing that memory up, it doesn't so that is why the huge increase of memory usage as new tabs are opened and closed it just adds up, this sounds like a huge bug in chrome.
I monitor Chrome.exe's memory usage very closely on my 32 bit 4GB system, and what I find is that typically the only chrome.exe to bloat is the one containing the Flash plugin. When it reaches 700-900MB Private Bytes, I know it's time to close it via Chrome Task Manager and restart it.
Right click on the extreme left and select the taskmanager option to see the memory consumption of the browser. You might have a lot of extensions which are taking up the space. Disabling a few will bring down the consumption.
Programs (not only Google Chrome) and Windows processes (e.g. Svchost.exe) have the nasty habit of occupying, as time goes by, more and more memory (watch Task Manager) and are only very reluctant to release that memory. And opening a "ton of tabs" certainly does help to increase memory usage significantly. That also explains why after a fresh restart Chrome memory uses much less memory.
You need a program that regularly reduces memory usage of all those programs/processes. Reducing memory usage also means that Windows can postpone or eliminate writing data from the memory to the swapfile. There're a number of programs out on the internet that can help you with that.
I have noticed over the last week or so that square dashboard for PC with windows 10 has become very inconsistent loading tasks and menus. Some tasks are taking longer then they should, and eventually the desktop stops responding completely, for example after a drop down menu refuses to populate. This coincided with yet another cosmetic interface update to the Dashboard. Today I noticed that at idle the Dashboards tab in Chrome is using 1.1 GB of memory. This is a very large amount compared to other websites. Please pass this on to the appropriate team!
Today I have left the desktop unattended for about 3 hours, I just returned to my desk and it is now consuming 2.4GB of memory. Chrome is even warning of excessive memory usage. It seems the longer the dashboard stays open and unused the memory usage steadily climbs. Please share this with the appropriate team.
Hi... If you hold your pointer above the chrome tab at the top for the page it shows memory usage. I believe it is the dashboard because all other tabs work fine and only use a max of 200MB. The dashboard goes over 2 GB and it is caused from using the drop down menu when creating a new item. When you go to RECEIVE, and drop down the box it refuses to display anything and then chrome completely stops responding. All other tabs, which there are 3 work flawlessly and never use high memory.
Problem with high memory usage persists. What I have observed is the memory usage climbs and climbs as you use the dashboard more. For example when receiving an order, that is opening each item and receiving stock and then printing labels memory usage climbs continuously. Generally when I'm at the 12th item the usage exceeds 2 GB and then the dashboard stops responding with just a spinning circle. I must manually terminate and start Chrome over again. It appears that the dashboard is not returning the memory its using back to the system and just accumulating like crazy. This issue is not occurring on any other website that I use all day long. Has this issue been reported to engineering? @_Violet
Recently we noticed that the Hubspot Sales gmail plugin for Chrome is causing the browser to become really slow and laggy, especially while working with Gmail. It gets so bad that sometimes it takes several seconds just to display the emails each time I scroll down within Gmail. I'm running on a 2019 HP Spectre 360 i7, SSD drive with 16GB of ram. It's a powerful computer so it's not a hardware thing. The second we disable the chrome plugin, everything instantly goes back to fast and snappy. The only other plugin we have Nimbus (screenshots) and Boomerang (Gmail plugin). Everything works fine with those plugins and everything worked fine before. Not sure if some recent Hubspot Sales plugin update and/or Chrome update broke things but it's unbearable.
We have a great troubleshooting guide for the extension that resolves a good majority or any problems or slowness that may be occurring that I would recommend having your team checking the steps here.
Still not working. Did everything in the guide, including removing the Chrome exgtension and re-adding it. Within 2 minutes it consumes 2GB of memory and slows down dramatically the entire Chrome browser. I left it disabled for now cause it's entire unusable. Please fix asap this memory leak (some would think that memory leaks are so 2010...)
The top, Arc Helper (Renderer) with 8.28 GB of RAM is my Gmail tab with the Hubspot Sales plug-in.
And yes, after the small update you launched, after multiple restarts of the browser (not voluntarily, because it crashes constantly) etc.
For things like Clearing Browser Cache and Rebooting, I've done them at pretty much every step to rule out any complications. And with all permutations of Active or Inactive extensions, the memory leak woudl only and always occur when the HubSpot Sales Extension was running, even if it was the only extension, the inverse is true aswell, when it was the only extension that was disabled, memory use would be stable or otherwise not climb indefinitely even when the tab is idle.
I will encourage you to try to log out and then back in, this usually can fix this type of behavior. Also, try executing this task in another browser, an incognito window, clearing your cache, making sure your browser is up-to-date, and disabling any browser plug ins.
I am having the same issue as others here. Chrome works fine for about 5 minutes, and then the CPU goes up to over 100 and Chrome becomes extremely laggy. I believe it is coming from email tracking and not logging, so I have turned off tracking and that seems to solve the issue, however that is very unfortunate as that is a feature that we are paying for but I now cannot use it.
This issue started a few days ago and has been consistenly a problem unless I disable the chrome extension or turn off email tracking. I did everything else Google recommends and keep coming back to the Hubspot Sales extension. I believe the extension just had an update, maybe something changed that is now causing there to be an overload of CPU time when it is enabled?
I also tried clearing all cache and that does absolutly nothing. The problem is progressive, meaning if I open Chrome and go to my Gmail inbox, it works fine for a few minutes but it starts to get a little laggy. After 5-10 minutes, it's clearly laggy. After 20 minutes, it's unusuable. It sort of reminds me of old PC programs that used to have memory leaks or were bad at management memory allocation. The more you use them, the worse the problem gets. That's what it feels like.
+1 Also suddenly started to experience performance issues in the last week.
Disabling the HubSport extention resolves the Chome performance lag issues, so a strong indicator as to the root cause. Standard troubleshooting steps, clearing all cache history etc. do not resolve the problem.
What's changed recently to cause this?
Hello i have this exact issue it seems where its fine for the 1st few minutes but its like on task manager chrome ram usage just keeps slowly going up and up untill i crash my laptop that has 16gb ram. As soon as i disable the extension, then everything is back to normal.
