"Resolving Host" is making the new Microsoft Edge unusable.

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.

    I had the same issue with Windows 10 and long load times. The Resolve Host was displaying. I followed someone else's lead and uninstalled the Malwarebytes program I had been running in the background. Presto. Issue with Resolve Host...Resolved!
