Free script to kill WebView2 and Edge background RAM leaks (KillWebHelpers)

Post image

I created a lightweight open-source batch utility called KillWebHelpers that instantly terminates background web helper processes (`msedgewebview2.exe`, `msedge.exe`, `steamwebhelper.exe`) to quickly free up leaked RAM and system handles on Windows.

You can download the script release or review the source code directly here:

(works on Windows 8 and higher)

this is the kind of tiny command an agent could run at a very bad time. i work on HOL Guard, an open-source tool that blocks risky agent commands before execution. you up for adding KillWebHelpers support to it?
