"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?

    To fix your problem:

    hit the windows logo key + S, select internet options, select advanced, scroll to the security section, locate “warn about certifictes mismatch option”, uncheck it, click apply and ok. 

    you should be fixed!

    Hi Mark, thank you for the fix all seems ok now. Do you know how to stop the same thing happening in Chrome?

    When I get to Smart Screen for Microsoft Edge, nothing comes up that looks like that. What to do?

    I don't understand how computers work, but Edge was running very slowly so I tried this (i.e. turning off delivery optimization and rebooting).  So far, it seems to have worked miracles.  Thanks!

    Thank you StormF11

    Unchecking the TCP/IPv6 setting in Network Connections did the trick for my girlfriends RESOLVING HOST delay.
