Just end the process steamwebhelper.exe via your task bar. It's leaking memory.

i suggest keeping your Task bar constantly open to see when the process goes above 80MB (which is where it starts to hurt your PC).

yup but this should also be fixed so i can listen to music and the radio without it crashing.

I've been having the same problem and whenever I try to end the process another one takes its place, in addition to an error message. (Hail Hydra?)....Please fix soon, this is crippling my otherwise awesome PC.....

Hello Mr. alfred,

I am having the same problem as the others in this thread http://imgur.com/9QedsF1 .Around 3 updates ago steamwebhelper started crashing for me, and just recently it was able to leak up to 1.8GB of memory before it crashed.

Snip from my Dxdiag:

I have a full memory dump of the crashed process, if it helps.

There is a memory leak in the Steam Overlay. You can turn that off to prevent the error

I have reported bugs related to the WebHelper process several times. Never got an answer, never were the bugs fixed. Simple: it's leaking memory and doesnt go idle, even if you are in a game, close the steam window, or minimize it. The process keeps "doing stuff" forever and causes around 4-8% CPU usage. Workaround: switch the tab from STORE for example to LIBRARY, and then minimize/close the steam window or start the game => web process stops using CPU.

Ive reported it 3 months ago, and again and again, and no one cares at VALVE. It's especially a problem if you run Steam as a server for In-Home streaming.

You cant use it properly right now, and you need a VNC running on the server pc, to keep things like that under control. Because the STORE page is always the default one when Steam starts, and this causes the webhelper to leak and use CPU until you manually switch the tab away from the Store, which you just can if you use VNC.

Also if you are using In-Home streaming you cant really deactivate the annoying Overlay, it always keeps activated.

@hilarious, a full dump when that windows message box is visible would be great, please post a link to it.

[mkdr]

@alfred a feedback to what I said would be nice too.

[hilarious]

@alfred I need an e-mail address to send the link. I don't know how to send a private message. I don't want to post it here.

[alfred]

alfred at valvesoftware.com will reach me.

Unbelievable. Also newest silent patch on beat client of "reduce CPU of webhelper if not foreground" doesnt work. It's less than before, but still doesnt go to zero, it's idling at 2-3%.
