So even though they make the OS (and, in fact, it is *their* software, unlike Edge, which is someone else's that they just modify), they choose to fix the issue by adding a non-flexible limit to one piece of software, instead of fixing it within the OS itself by improving how it handles memory allocation. Yup, sounds like a MS move all right.
Microsoft has released a beta version of its Edge browser with a hard RAM limiter. This setting allows users to set the exact amount of RAM that Edge is allowed to use, helping reduce performance problems when multitasking heavily especially during gaming.
