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

just got blessed with the Edge upgrade.  Initially it failed with a fail message in Update History, I had both legacy and new Edge on the desktop and taskbar. They would both work sometimes, other times  "resolving host" until the browser gave up.  Uninstalled the new Edge, downloaded the install from MS and ran it.  Legacy Edge icons went away, only new Edge on desktop and taskbar.  Things seemed good after that, but the "resolve host" message came back.  I disabled Malwarebytes (didn't uninstall, no service running) and disable the add blocker extension. May have been reboots in there, but things again seemed to be OK. Surprise its back.  I uninstalled updated Edge, legacy Edge came back, I then told Windows Update to leave Edge alone (guest I will see how long that lasts).  The machine that I did all this on was a new Surface Pro 7, very clean.  I have an old original Surface pro 1 still working and the new Edge is working fine as far as I can tell, don't use it much anymore.  Main problem is my wife is using my older laptop to work from home right now and I really don't need it to get broken by MS.  I have disabled updates as far into the future as possible as well as told Windows update to leave Edge alone.  Guess all this to say, until MS takes responsibility to fix it, it is something that has to be worked around. Multiple people having multiple solutions that appear to work is a very frustrating position to be in.

I just read another article and it said to go to the Network Settings and untick TCP/IPv6 (either wireless or Ethernet) in the adapter settings.   I've just done this and rebooted my PC and it's working.   Obviously, need to check over time, but for now it's solved the issue.

I saw some earlier replies saying that the latest version of MalwareBytes (MAB) fixed the issue for some.  Unfortunately for me, the moment I re-installed MAB again (with latest updates) these "resolving host" issues start creeping back up.  For me I have to remove MAB to make sure it doesn't happen.

I have the same weird issue!

This happened lately on my PC. Other PCs in the network with similar setup does not have this problenm.

I have changed DNS settings, antivirus software etc. Nothing helps, it is really weird.

It is not from the internet provider, because once host is resolved packages flow fast also as I said other computers in the network does not experience such issue and when I go other place I still have the problem.

I have the same issue.   I have three home PC's on the same network (wired) going through the same router/config.   Two work fine with Edge, no issues with page loading.   The other is a nightmare.  It takes for ever to load a page (and it's the faster computer

• I7) it can Take 1-2 minutes and just see "Resolving Host" in the bottom left hand side of the screen.    I've tried reinstalling edge, clearing out the directory from AppData/Local/Packages.    This has a temporary effect for about 24 hours when things load fine, but then, it goes back to being very slow.   Really don't understand what the problem is but it is make Edge unusable.

It appears that it is the latest Version that has caused this problem as it was absolutely fine, and pretty impressive, before! What a shame and a great pity that Microsoft appear unable to acknowledge the problem.
