IE 10 memory leak?


Recommended Posts

Has anybody else noticed that IE10 has a massive memory leak?

When I open IE10 I have 8 pages opening automatically, after about an hour IE10 is taking up more then 500MB of memory.

And it just keeps rising. After about 2 hours I get a message to close some programs to clear up some memory.

Has anybody installed the IE10 PP4 on top of Win8 DP and solved this problem doing so?

Can you actually install IE10 PP and does it just integrate with IE10 or do you have to run a different .EXE

I have had this issue once when IE10 was released. I use to use Chrome and IE equally but now its about Chrome 80% and IE10 20% whenever I can I will close the browser to free the memory

You might be able to switch it over to the newer PP4 engine but I'm not quite sure which dlls you'd have to change, it's not so much the exe itself but a handful of other files that you'll have to swap.

I'm pretty sure people did this with the older IE9 previews and IE9 beta back then, the files you change might be the same in the end so a search for that should tell you what files you need to replace with the PP4 files on your system.

I haven't seen any memory leaks in IE10, it's pretty stable here. As far as using the IE10 preview engine in IE10, don't think it works, I followed the procedure for doing it for IE9 with IE10 + PP4, but it didn't use the new engine, but I didn't put much extra work into it besides that.

At this rate I bet the only IE10 for Win7 we'll get "preview" wise will be the Beta in late January or Feb, whenever Win8 beta goes out.
