That’s actually the installer/updater not the application itself. Here is the official statement given by Microsoft on this issue: Microsoft has acknowledged this issue and according to “ Missy Quarry” (Community Manager for Microsoft Edge) ( via), it’s a known issue.
Usually one or two instances of MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe process run in Windows and you’ll find them in Task Manager but getting 20-30 or more instances of this process running in Task Manager is not normal. Similar processes are also used by other web browsers such as Google Chrome and Opera to upgrade themselves to newer versions. This process keeps running in background so that it can download and install new versions of Microsoft Edge browser automatically in user’s device and keep Microsoft Edge web browser updated. This process is official updater file for Microsoft Edge web browser which regularly checks for new version updates available for Edge on Microsoft servers. Users are wondering why this process is running so many times in Task Manager? Is it a virus or suspicious item? PROBLEM REASON and SOLUTION:įirst of all, don’t worry. I also checked in one of my Windows 10 device and I found 29 instances of MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe process running in background.
If you go to Processes tab, you’ll see the same multiple processes with the name “Microsoft Edge Update (32 bit)” running in background. If you are using Microsoft Edge web browser in your Windows computer and you open Task Manager by right-clicking on Taskbar and selecting “Task Manager” option or by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys together, you notice that too many MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe processes are listed on Details tab as shown in following screenshot:Īll processes are running using SYSTEM username and the description says “Microsoft Edge Update”. Microsoft Edge users are finding that many instances of “ Microsoft Edge Update (32 bit)” or MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe process are running in Task Manager in their computer systems and are consuming CPU resources and RAM.
I have received many emails from readers regarding this Microsoft Edge web browser problem.
