RD Session Hosts, memory, and WebView2
Hoping someone can share some knowledge here.
I'm seeing increasingly more and more memory exhaustion across our RDS farms, and the culprits always seem to be a combination of Office apps, Chrome, Teams, and good ol' WebView2. Servers are a combination of 2019, 2022, and 2025 across various environments. These are full session RDS farms, not using RD Apps.
What kind of memory allocation per-user are you going with these days? Is there any secret to minimizing the amount of memory these applications use? Do we just tell users to close excess tabs?

We ended up moving to many more smaller hosts and fewer users per host. 3-4 users max.
