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.

Microsoft Edge | Browser crashes or stops working | Windows 10

    It freezes randomly. I've deleted and reinstalled it to no avail. I have all the most current Microsoft updates.

    Hi StephenGwin,

    I would like to get more information about this.  Is it freezing randomly or on certain websites?

    Eric

    It is freezing randomly. It has no obvious connection with any website. Very frustrating. I've tried all the recommended fixes and it still randomly freezes. I'm fed up with it.

    I tried your method Doug Timmer. When I searched the APP list I came up with 2 Edge entries. The one called Edge Update had both boxes (Modify and Update) grayed out when I selected the Edge Update box. I tried the only way I know which is to right click on the selected entry and select delete, but there was no delete in the drop down box.

    Any other ideas? I'm running out of them myself. I'm using DuckDuckGo until Edge gets fixed.

    I've fixed the problem (which was EDGE, Firefox, & IE freezing on certain websites, randomely.

    1. In setting accessed thee UNINSTALL APPS
    2. did a search on EDGE. 3 apps showed up. a. EDGE b. EDGE UPDATE c. Can't remember the 3rd app name, but I deleted it which solved the problem.

    I did this as a HAIL MARY, because I tried almost everything suggested on the net (including downloading Firefox, which and the same problem as EDGE.

    Anyway, problem solved with a wild guess.
