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

    I JUST did a Repair with the browser. I am not liking this.

    That basically tells Microsoft your fate is in their hands. Meaning Microsoft can take all the time in the world because they know you’re not going anywhere.

    I switched to Firefox while I was struggling, and also had Google Chrome as a backup choice. As of now, I no longer see issues on Edge though. My current setup is having Edge open in a blank page and having hardware acceleration turned off. I made those changes one of the days the program opened successfully.

    Always freezes up on me when I open it. Its very frustrating which makes me not want to use it as firefox won't let me open certain websites that I guess banks and some other websites don't use anymore. So I need microsoft edge to work. Don't want google after I heard they are very bad with security, so I don't know what to do.

    I solved the problem by removing all the Edge attachments (including the MS attachments)

    Can you elaborate on your solution? What do you mean by Edge attachments? Thanks.

    I can't help but wonder with the numerous time this issue has been discussed on the MS Community site, for at least two years now -- without any apparent efforts by MS to correct the problem -- does MS even monitor or pay attention to this site's comments???

    Agree. And it seems like suggestions are all related to the users set up. Though I had experienced this issue on multiple computers and clean installs of Edge and/ or clean installs of Windows.

    (Knock on wood… I now use Windows 11 beta installs and the issue has seemed to have gone away for me.)
