Instead of No Action Required, it should state to check extensions and/or monitor what is using the memory via "Shift+ESC"


The above is almost always relevant, but here is a current issue and fix: 

Currently many users (including myself) have Adobe Flash 15 installed, and need to update it to 16.

You need to go to chrome://plugins/ click the + next to details at the top on the right hand side of the page.  Then scroll down to: "Adobe Flash Player (2 files) - Version"  

For Location: you will likely see either:

64bit

 

Location:C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\

and

Location:C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

32bit

Location:C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\

and

Location:C:\Windows\Macromed\Flash

For the C:\Windows version if it shows version 15:

Description:Shockwave Flash 15.0 r0

Click disable for that version until you can update Shockwave Flash to version 16 or higher.
