Chrome: High CPU usage - that can be the reason
Google Chrome quickly causes high CPU usage - mostly for no apparent reason. In this practical tip, you will find out why it may be that the CPU utilization by Chrome is so high and how you can get this problem under control.
High CPU usage through Chrome - so you fix the problem
A high CPU usage of Chrome can result, for example, from too many opened tabs. We have put together some helpful tips for you below.
- Close the tabs you no longer need to free up memory.
- High CPU usage can also be caused by videos or flash animations in Chrome.
- In addition, unused add-ons can consume memory in the background. Uninstall any add-ons that you rarely run or that you no longer need.
- Some extensions to Chrome bring apps with them. You can manage these in the "Chrome Apps" folder.
- Again, you should be careful not to run too many apps at the same time, as this can also lead to high loads.
- If necessary, uninstall unused Chrome apps to free up more memory.
- It can also help if you reset Google Chrome to its default settings.
