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

Tried for hours to fix this problem!!! Thanks for the Fix it worked as soon as i restarted windows!!

Thanks a million!!

I've been having the same issue with Chrome and Edge.  If you are running Malwarebytes there is a setting that works for me.  Open Malwarebytes click on the settings (gear icon) - you'll be on general settings

• under Windows Explorer Settings - "Add Malwarebytes option to windows explore" toggle the slider to off then restart your computer.  Hope this helps.

Just tried this and it solved the problem immediately..............................................Hope it Lasts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have concluded that Windows Defender Smart Screen and Malwarebytes Web Protection are in conflict.  When I chose Malwarebytes (all functions) and disabled the Windows Defender Smart Screen in Edge, all problems went away.  Seems logical because both were trying to do the same thing.  I don't think I am exposed to more risk.  Thanks to all for the many clues that led me to this solution.  I hope it works for more folks.  I got more done tonight than in the last 3 days.

I have the same problem with long delays "resolving host." The only way I have found to get around it is to reboot my machine every 1-2 days, which is a pain--but the delays seem to disappear after the reboot. I'm about to just switch to firefox

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?

I found a solution to this problem on this site https://www.ghacks.net/2016/10/20/how-to-fix-resolving-host-issues-on-windows/ among the "comments" and it worked for me.

The comment from a Bob is "I was having this issue with Google Chrome, Microsft Edge and Opera browser. Tried flushing the DNS (ipconfig /flushdns) which didn’t help. I knew that the router wasn’t the problem since all of my Mac computers were running fine.

Finally decided to go into Device Manager and delete everything under Network. Restarted Windows 10 and allow it to rediscover the network devices. No more lag and the Resolving Host is gone in every browser that I tried. HTH
