If they had opened too many tabs on the browser, it took a toll on the computer&#8217;s performance. This was widely recognized as an issue, so much that Windows took it upon themselves to fix the RAM issue. The Segment Heap feature came out in the Windows 10 May 2020 update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But why would Google disable a fix like this? On the <a href=\"https:\/\/bugs.chromium.org\/p\/chromium\/issues\/detail?id=1102281\">Chromium Bugs<\/a> website, it states that Chrome acquired a &#8220;Performance regression with Windows segment heap&#8221;. So, exchanging one fix for another was Google&#8217;s plan. So when the new Chrome update comes out in August, the Segment Heap feature will be disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/lrn-share-site-ms-logo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/lrn-share-site-ms-logo.png 350w, https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/lrn-share-site-ms-logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.karlstechnology.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/lrn-share-site-ms-logo-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, Google is running its own tests to find solutions to the RAM issues, but until then we may have to deal with the possibility of declining performances on our PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are needing help with computer issues, please give us a call at&nbsp;<a href=\"tel:1-800-620-5285\">1-800-620-5285<\/a>. &nbsp;Karls Technology is a nationwide computer service company with offices in many&nbsp;major cities. &nbsp;This blog post is brought to you from our staff at&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tucsoncomputerrepairs.net\/\">Tucson Computer Repair Service<\/a>.
