I can no longer use "Reduce Working Set." #2136

Closed razvanab closed 1 month ago

razvanab commented 3 months ago

Brief description of your issue

I no long can use "Reduce Working Set" on edge or any other browser.

Steps to reproduce (optional)

1.Select all browser process. 2.Go to Miscellaneous > Reduce working set. 3.I get the Access denied message error

Expected behavior (optional)

To reduce the memory use of the selected process.

I like to open a lot of browser tabs on YouTube and then watch them one after the other instead of one by one. And most of the time, I use the "Reduce Working Set" feature to make room for a few more tabs to open. I know this might be stupid, but it works for me.

Actual behavior (optional)

No response

Environment (optional)

works for me in 23H2 with Edge while having Youtube on. Edge already has a buildin feature to reduce memory usage for background tabs:

I know Edge does have that feature, but it's mostly a hit or miss for me. The issue has been solved in System Informer 3.0.7660. Thank you.
