Microsoft Edge Error Code: Out of Memory fixes?

Dear Michael Thurley

Recently there has been a very large amount of user feedback regarding EDGE Out of Memory.

We have researched and tested this issue, incorporating solutions from enthusiastic partners.

Now we have organized the causes and solutions of the problem.

Reason for the problem:

The user's current configuration file Enhance your security on the web has a conflict with the current version of EDGE, resulting in this message.

Solution: 1. If users can go to EDGE settings "Settings>Privacy, search and services," scroll down to the "Security" section and then turn off "Enhance your security on the web."

Solution: 2. If the user cannot access the settings, then you can download the EDGE BETA version.

To open the BETA version of EDGE Login to your Microsoft account - then turn off "Enhance your security on the web".

The account profile will remember this setting and you can then go back to the official EDGE browser and log out of your Microsoft account and sign in again.

Solution: 3

If the user is completely unable to turn on EDGE

Organizes the registry for the enhanced features of EDGE.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]

"EnhanceSecurityMode"=dword:00000000

00=Always turn off Enhanced Security Mode for all users in Microsoft Edge

01=Always turn on Balanced Enhanced Security Mode for all users in Microsoft Edge

02=Always enable Strict Enhanced Security Mode in Microsoft Edge for all users

Hi Shawn,

Hardware Acceleration was already disabled and had been for a while.

Hi, I don't know if this will help but the security of the browser is causing this issue with the new update...
To fix this issue, Go to "Settings>Privacy, search and services," scroll down to the "Security" section and then turn off "Enhance your security on the web." setting. This is what helped me, hope it helps you too... Cheers!

Also if you cannot get into settings because initially I couldn't, I use this link to get back into Edge.
How to reset Microsoft Edge completely from a Microsoft Account to - Microsoft Community

Dear Michael Thurley

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

Regarding your question, we suggest you to open edge - three dots on the top right corner - Settings - System & Performance - Use Hardware Acceleration - Turn off this feature.

This stops your graphics card from being utilized by EDGE browsers and avoids the unusual black screen problem.

Meanwhile, you can refer to the following website to download other EDGE parallel test version. They do not affect your current EDGE functionality, but can be used independently.

Hope the above information can help you.

I just got the same problem today with 32GB of ram, 28GB free. The solution for me was to go into the top left corner of the tab and sign out of your account. I am using a new account and it works perfectly fine, but if I try to switch back to my actual account it says that I’m out of memory.

Hi Shawn,

Hardware Acceleration was already disabled and had been for a while.
