With UWP having stayed behind expectations, Microsoft decided to unlock UWP specific APIs such as segment heap so that Win32 programs can use these as well. Microsoft announced Project Reunion recently in an attempt to unify the Windows development platform. It can be deployed in the cloud (Public or Private), on-premise (Including Air-Gapped Networks), or in a hybrid configuration. Workspaces is truly wherever the work is. But the underlying improvement comes from Windows 10, not the browser. Kasm is not just a service, it is a highly configurable platform, with a robust developer API that can be customized for your use-case, at any scale. Segment Heap has been available to UWP applications only in previous versions of Windows 10. Yesterday, Microsoft revealed that the new Edge uses up to 27 percent less RAM when running on Windows 10 version 2004. Early internal testing results of devices on the May 2020 Update are showing a memory usage reduction of up to 27% when browsing with Microsoft Edge. With the Windows Update, Microsoft Edge has leveraged the Windows segment heap memory improvements now available for Win32 applications to manage memory more efficiently. Make sure that you have check marks next to PID, Commit size, and Memory (private working set). Right click on the header that has Name, Status, User Name, CPU, etc. Ensure you have the necessary columns showing.

According to a blog post by Microsoft Principal PM Manager, Microsoft Edge, Kim Denny on the Microsoft Edge Dev blog, the new Microsoft Edge may use up to 27% memory less on the new version of Windows 10 than on previous versions.ĭenny explains that Microsoft implemented Windows segment heap memory improvements in the browser that reduce memory usage.
