Edge keeps freezing up.

Anonymous

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'm having the same problem after Edge updated yesterday (02/05/22). It is freezing up randomly, sometimes when i click on the taskbar button to open, it will cause my usb keyboard and mouse to stop working, sometimes it freezes after it opens, and sometimes after it opens and i try to go to a website. I switched over to Firefox and am not having any issues. I believe the problem is within the Edge software, as i have no issues when using Firefox and doing anything else on my PC. The freezing up only happens with Edge. Btw, Win 10 (21H2).

I never had this problem before I went to Windows 11. It was fine in 10 and for the first few months with 11..only over the past week or so has it been freezing up..
