... sorry Edge and Brave are comparable in memory, but Brave is faster

Update: I tried testing Chrome, Brave, Opera, Edge with all running same website. Brave is by far the less memory hungry, at task manager. Chrome 430MB, Opera 383MB, Brave 238MB, Edge 237MB So it seems I need to use Brave, with at most 3 tabs open.

Hi I had Windows 11 instability both with Google Chrome browser, and Brave browser. ie <app> "not responding" errors every 2-3 days. So after googling it seems both browsers use a lot of memory, so I tried restricting to at most 2 tabs open at any one time. And I have had no more <app> "not...

Thanks. It seems if I can only have a couple of tabs open in a browser, that makes it a near-useless browser. What about my other issue... My outlook.pst is 1.6GB, which apparently isn't too large to exceed some limit of ~50GB. However every time I have run scanpst.exe to repair the pst, it has...

In attached Sunday 4:09pm, it says Brave Browser consumes 588MB of memory. Is that critically high, enough to cause instability and "not responding" errors?

MS Office is up to date. Brave browser was not up to date, so I updated it. I guess I will wait another 2-3 days to see if I get the chronic <app> "not responding" error with my apps. In the meantime did you check my attachment of Sunday 4:09pm? Is it in order?

... that's "please re-post"

Attn: Mohaotran Your post failed, could you please report

Update: Or do I need more RAM? I currently have "8.00 GB (7.72 GB usable)"

Update: 2 more possible causes: -max size of pst is 50GB, so my 1.6GB pst should be fine.... however several times in recent months MS Outlook 2019 says I have reached max size, so I keep having to delete emails or their attachments. Why would it say this limit is reached? When I go to DOS and...

There may be another cause... My outlook.pst is 1.6GB, which apparently isn't too large to exceed some limit. However every time I have run scanpst.exe to repair the pst, it has always come up with errors (refer attached) which scanpst repairs, or so it states afterwards. Can an outlook.pst...

Thanks. The problem with removing for AV suite for 3 days is I won't have protection for 3 days. Do I risk it, or use free AV instead eg AVG? If I remove Browser extensions for 3 days, won't it severely impact on Browser functionality? I have used Office repair before, but the problem comes back.

.... 2nd line should read: So probably not going to fix the "not responding" errors in 2-3 days time.

When I tried dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, no errors, but very slow re-boot, requiring 3 reboots else PC ran slowly. So probably not going to the "not responding" errors in 2-3 days time.

Thanks for 3 lots of advice. I tried dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth. No errors but I will wait 3 days to see if more "not responding" with Word/Excel/Outlook etc While waiting... My anti virus software is Total AV - is that aggressive? I changed browser from Google chrome to...
