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.

    Hi Jeff,

    Since InPrivate mode worked, I would like for you to clear your cache and cookies and see if that solves it. Deleting cookies will sign you out of most sites.

    1. In Microsoft Edge, press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE keys to bring up the Clear browsing data dialog.
    2. Make sure the only things that have a checkmark are Cookies and other site data, and Cached images and files.
    3. Click on the Clear now button.

    I tried In private this morning and it seemed to work, but I still got a message that the page stopped responding. I did another update yesterday. Microsoft needs to work on this. It's their problem.

    Hi Jeff,

    I would like you to open the InPrivate window and go to msn.com and see if it is still freezing up.

    1. Click on the three dots menu.
    2. Click on New InPrivate window.

    Hi Eric,
    The InPrivate Window DOES seem to work, and pages don't stop responding, at least the last few minutes.
    I hope this helps trouble shoot it.

    I don't want to have to be in InPrivate mode all the time.

    Why do I get the feeling it is going to end up being my whole profile that will have to be dumped and recreated? :)

    Hope to hear from you soon.

    Jeff

    Eric,

    Yes, it is the89.0.774.50 version. I did turn off what I think is the hardware accelerator and it seemed to help, but didn't completely solve the problem.

    Hi Dan,

    Are you still experiencing this with the latest version, 89.0.774.50? You can check what version you are on by clicking on the three dots menu and then go to Help and feedback. Then, click on About Microsoft Edge.
