Edge and the creators update= increased fan noise?

[Skoen]

Hi.
So after the new update my CPU usage is hovering between 50-70% + the fan is going crazy... Dosn't matter if it's 1 or 10 tabs. It used to be around 10-20%.

Anyone else experience this or is everyone on chrome?

Thx!

On my desktop fans do kick in when opening websites in Edge, for example now when I was opening this thread with only one tab open and only edge and task manager running CPU usage went up to 50% when it was loading ads but then dropped back to 5%.
When opening Microsoft.com the CPU usage was 29% just the moment before it loaded and when I was opening mspoweruser.com the usage was at 30% at it's peak but then dropped down to 5%.
Not sure what your CPU is, I am running a Core i5 7600, if your CPU is a bit older then that's probably what to expect because I believe they used more CPU power for better performance because I can tell that before the Creators Update Edge was even slower when I was opening Windows Central.

I have a i5 6300U, on a surface pro 4. I agree that yours is more stable + a bit faster overall... but my battery life has dropped from 6-7 hours to 3 hours.

and my CPU dosn't peak at 50-70%, it stays there... even if its only google.com (or bing ).

Same here. Just running one website in edge makes it warm

Just reset my Window to the previous version and it took care of the problem completely.

Creators update hereby confirmed to **** up Edge.

Nice of you to confirm my suspicion...thx. Do you think Microsoft will release a fix soon? hopefully before Redstone 3...

Found a temporary fix... its possible to delete on of the Edge "process" (in task manager) that's using 30-40% of CPU when the computer is idle. Edge will work as normal afterwards...

I still haven't taken the creators update. hope a fix comes soon for this

I haven't seen it. Could just be a particularly heavy website or ad.
