Webpages do not load without hitting the refresh button several times.

So my Windows 10 machine does this. I accidentally figured out a workaround.

If I open the browser and then open a second tab and use the second tab it works. In fact, for some reason, the first tab will mirror the second tab.

Now as to why this works, no idea.

Yes, all 6 pages. I've tried the suggestions and even enlisted MS tech support and after 2 months, still not resolved. My problem is with having to keep refreshing to open emails. Keep getting a message sayiong "your message cannot be displayed right now". Then I refresh it, find the email and open it up.

I will probably bite the bullet and start switching away from MSN products. So many people having similar problems and no apparent resolution after 2 years (when this concern was initially posted until now)? Appears that it's not of much concern to MS. Only seem to care about subscribers at renewal time or purchase of their products.

In the meantime, since there are 6 pages in this forum dedicated to people with complaints about this problem, I'd like to know if any of you have found a solution or workaround. Thanks.

I have been having the same issues even to this day - for months. I have FIOS with 500/500 and wired in, and STILL, this happens. I refresh and the browsers are fine. Always a "can't find DNS" of so many locations. I have had decades of industry experience and have implemented so many solutions including flushing the DNS, etc., - yet here I am. I run Speedtest a lot and sometimes it just sits and either can't find the Speedtest site or just sits there connecting. I close and restart and GO is almost immediate. I feel like I am missing something but the answer escapes me.

I wouldn't ask again if I didn't try the things mentioned.

1. It does.
2. Doesn't help.
3. Same as above.

It's not personal. I don't know you, but it's not uncommon for users to skip over the post that would have helped to post "I have the same problem." ;-) It's something we get used to.

1. Do other browsers have the problem?
2. Do you leave Edge or Chrome running in the background for long periods of time? (20-30 minutes or longer) Both can become resource hogs if left running like this.
3. In fact, when the problem occurs, does closing all Edge processes help?

I'm having the same issues.
