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.
