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

    Hi Jeff,

    Since InPrivate mode worked, I would like for you to clear your cache and cookies and see if that solves it. Deleting cookies will sign you out of most sites.

    1. In Microsoft Edge, press CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE keys to bring up the Clear browsing data dialog.
    2. Make sure the only things that have a checkmark are Cookies and other site data, and Cached images and files.
    3. Click on the Clear now button.

    Good Morning Eric,

    Following your instructions exactly, unchecking the other pre-checked boxes, it seems to have WORKED!!!

    Thank you!

    I'm glad to hear the issue is resolved.

    Hi StephenGwin,

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