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.

    Mine locks up immediately and task manager shows 100% usage. I've been using google chrome for almost a year now. I cry it once in awhile and I have the same problem.

    I noticed this recently with only my work computer. If I visit literally any website that has ads - say to research tax law analysis on literally any other website besides the IRS, it'll freeze if I let all of the ads load. Weirdly enough it doesn't happen on personal computers. However, on two company laptops, it's consistently happened. I have no solution to this yet besides only visiting sites without ads on the side bars.

    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.

    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.
