Data for each one is divided into four columns. Here\u2019s what each column means:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Memory:<\/strong> This shows how much system memory a tab or process is using in kilobytes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CPU:<\/strong> This shows what percentage of your total CPU capacity (processing power) a tab or process is using.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Network:<\/strong> This shows the amount of network bandwidth in use by the tab or process in bytes or kilobytes per second. Tabs with open sites that stream <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> like video or music will use more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Process ID:<\/strong> This shows the process ID of the tab or process, which is mostly useful for in-depth developer troubleshooting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xedge_task_manger_general.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.Pwsesn3FTL.jpg\" alt=\"An example window of Microsoft Edge's built-in Browser Task Manager\" width=\"650\" height=\"407\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>At any time, you can click the \u201cMemory,\u201d \u201cCPU,\u201d or \u201cNetwork\u201d column header, Task Manager will sort the tabs and processes by resource usage.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019d like to figure out which tab is using the most memory, click the \u201cMemory\u201d column header, and the most memory-intensive tabs will move to the top of the list. Likewise, if you want to see which tabs are using the most CPU power, click the \u201cCPU\u201d column header.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xedge_click_column_headers.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.lPPLOI8Em1.jpg\" alt=\"In Edge Task Manger, click column headers to sort by resource usage\" width=\"650\" height=\"265\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>If a tab or process is taking up too much CPU, memory, or network bandwidth and becomes unresponsive, you can force it to close using Edge\u2019s Browser Task Manager. To do so, select the tab or process from the list, then click the \u201cEnd process button.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-698243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/xedge_task_end_process.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.eB9D4TzzjV.jpg\" alt=\"To force close a tab or process in Edge, select the tab or process and click &quot;End process.&quot;\" width=\"650\" height=\"408\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>You can also use Browser Task Manager to manage large numbers of tabs at once. For example, if you have 100 tabs open and would like to close many of them at once, select them in a group within Task Manager and click \u201cEnd process.\u201d Just make sure you have any work in those tabs saved before you close them suddenly.
