Troubleshooting browser crashes or performance issues on Windows 10
I solved the problem by removing all the Edge attachments (including the MS attachments)
Edge keeps freezing up.

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 am having the same problem with Edge and Chrome. Both browsers seem to act in the same way. At seemingly random situations, Edge will just quit responding to input but the system keeps going for a few seconds. I'll look at Task Manager and try and kill the process but that does not work and the system will freeze. If I don't try and kill the process, soon the entire system will freeze without the ability to do anything than push the power button to reboot.
It is happening often - 2-3 x day now. It did not happen until I updated Windows 2 weeks ago. Not sure if this is some kind of networking issue thru HTTP or what but the only time it happens is when I am using the browsers. This is Windows home edition updated to 8/24/21. All the browsers are also updated.

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

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.
