Updated to new version of Edge a couple weeks ago and am looking for a way to 'downgrade' to the old version... or recommendations for a non-chromium based, secure browser.
Why? Because the 'Resolving Host' delay that Edge is now performing on just about EVERY web page is driving me nuts. Delays page loading by 2 - 10 seconds on EVERY PAGE. How is that better?
I've tried clearing Edge's cache, Windows cache, changing dns to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 and to the two IP's specified by my ISP (in addition to relying on my router's handling of DNS), rebooting modem+router/PC. Nothing has helped.
Any other suggestions? Perhaps point me down a better path?

Sooooooo Thankful for this! Using Device Manager, removing everything under Networks and restarting. WOW! Great solution. Instant gratification.
Thank you so much.

Im glad it worked for you. At this pikt ibdont know if it is a Malwarebytes problem or MS problem.
The files could be in
*\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Cache*
I used Procmon to catch the Edge process reading and writing to files, this one stuck out as a good candidate for the cache files (if that is what you meant by temp files)
So just some further updates, but little progress at the moment. I have three PC's all connected to the same router/hub and two of them work fine with Edge but have little usage. The one I use all the time seems to suffer slowdown badly after 24 hours. This caused me to question where the temporary internet files are held. Everything I read says they are at
*\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_xxxx\AC#!001\MicrosoftEdge\Cache*
HOWEVER through the many iterations of trying to fix this problem I deleted the Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge directory and forgot to reinstall it, BUT, I'm still using Edge and it does it's normal work for 24 hours and then slow down, but that directory still does not exist.... so where is it writing temporary files to? Because it's clearly not here.
Second, as mentioned above, I have three PC's all running Edge, two fine (but with limited daily usage) and the main one is just problematic. The problematic and one of the other two non-problematic PC's run Malwarebytes. So if it is Malwarebytes causing the issue, why does it only impact one, unless again, it's usage related.
I've tried about everything with this and it's beyond frustrating right now. I wish Microsoft would chime in on this and try to get to the bottom of the problem.
PS - If anyone else knows where temporary files would be being stored if not above, would love to know.
Thank you for the tip on how to resolve the "Resolving Host" problem with Microsoft Edge by making a change in Malwarebytes settings. It worked....for now. Not sure why Microsoft doesn't answer with either fixing the bug or giving us these answers. Why do browser users have to find the answer????
