    I am having a weird issue with the IE 10. After I use it for like 15-20 min, web pages starts freezing and youtube says to install Adobe flash. When I check the resources, it would be consuming over 1.5gb of RAM. So, after I stop that task, everything goes back to normal. Even if I close the IE completely, 3-4 threads are running in the background and I need to stop it manually.
    Any facing similar situation?

    For me I thought it reduced resources but I do look forward to the comments from others. 1.5GB on the previous version seemed Spartan compared to my issues.

    Probably a memory leak or I/O issue MS needs to resolve. Have you tried rolling back to IE 9?

    Don't use IE10. :( But I'm curious: did you use IE 9 for awhile and still experience the resource problem? Also, I advise uninstalling the IE10 update altogether when you try IE 9. It could very well be one or more bad updates.

    You could also remove anything Flash and reinstall again, if you're getting an error about flash when that happens. maybe the problem is Flash related.
