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.

    After using all the trouble shooting methods I could find. Deleting caches, resetting the app, restoring defaults, uninstalling all extensions...., nothing worked. In addition, I don't feel I should have to spend so much time on it. I have a new machine with all the required hardware. I hated to do it, but I reinstalled Google Chrome, and defaulted all my apps to it. If only MS would put more focus on these issues. I loved Edge, if only it worked. Been going back the MS browser for many years but I always having to return to Chrome. Hope MS reads these posts.

    Eric,

    FYI. For me, Edge started freezing after your update! Edge loads, but I can't click on the search bar or open a story. Sometimes when I refresh the page, parts of it will work, sometimes not. Resetting, reloading, and reinstalling have not solved this problem.

    I agree. Locks up primarily when scrolling a new page or other graphics dense page with long scroll. It's as if it's holding all of it in memory. I have 16GB RAM and it recently warned me I had used 70% of memory right before it locked up. Seems to lock up Edge and other graphics. Window won't even close from the task bar. Only Task Manager or reboot.
