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.

    I have looked at the comments and it appears that the people having the issue have not exactly pinned down what is causing the Edge software to freeze. I know how to make it freeze on que. In the menu bar at the top of the screen there are drop downs that are intended to be helpful. These little dropdowns will ask if you like to save the password to a sight. Or it will even ask if you want to reload a site because Edge froze and was shutdown improperly. If you ignore them and just let them float around and annoy you to death, edge wont freeze. If you chose to close them like hitting X, edge WILL freeze every time. I can't imagine the developers or techs are not aware of this and will not believe you if you say this is the first time you have heard of it. Do you have a fix for this issue?

    It freezes on specific websites (there is many), but only sometimes.  All other websites also then pretty much lock up.    I have to reboot to fix it.  I've reinstalled edge.  Cleared all history & cookies.  Very frustrating.

    edge keeps copping out, freezing, in the midst of writing replies in gmail. Yet I have run the update: clearly it does not get to the root of the problem: Edge too edgy! Tried to uninstall, but at lease useing different browser to minimize inconvenience.
