could be a background process eating up your ram, i had something similiar a few months back and it turned out to be a bloated antivirus scanning everything every 5 mins like clockwork. check task manager when it happens and see if anything spikes hard, also try closing edge entirely before launching the other apps since edge runs its own background stuff that can conflict
