My Microsoft Edge browser keeps freezing up. I have tried all the suggested solutions with no success. I like the design and functionality offered by Edge, but will change to Firefox until I get a notice that Microsoft has fixed the problem with Edge freeze ups.

    Edge v88.0.705.56

    Win10 v20H2 v19042.746

    64bit 16GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650

    Only Bus apps

     Have suffered freezing over the last 4-5 weeks progressively more often simply browsing standard pages, like eBay, happens InPrivate as well as normal mode. Have to use task manager to end the process. 

    Happened 4 times today in the space of an hour

    PC had been rebooted after the 1st freeze, Hardware acceleration was off.

    3x extensions that I've used for some years. I use them in Firefox which gives no issues.

    This doesn't solve the touchscreen and touchpad input freeze issues.

    This Edge touchpad and touchscreen freeze issue is happening for like than a year now. We tried everything and we have sent countless of feedback and it keeps getting ignored. It started happening around the time that the Edge team made scrolling changes to Chromium, and it seems to affects all Chromium browsers on Windows now.

    I can consistently reproduce the issue. With a touchscreen or touchpad, tap a site on the New Tab Page, and immediately begin scrolling down and up quickly a few times.

    See the comments on this recent reddit thread for more reports on this freeze issue.

    I don't have any problem, you can try to update your windows or uninstalling a not wanted sofware.
