New Microsoft Edge freezing intermittently forcing restart

The new Edge browser will occasionally freeze. When this happens there is no screen control and ending the Edge process using the task manager closes the browser window bur does not release all the resources forcing me to restart the PC. This can happen on a webpage or when watching videos. Is this a known problem and has anyone else experienced this and found a solution? I am running Windows 10 with the 2004 update installed, have no problems with other applications and no freezing when using Firefox or Chrome

    Yes this Issues very critical, I faced with this for few months already. Till now, Dec 2021 had not been fixed, even in dev edge version 98.0.1089.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit).

    • this issue happens more frequently if i play video for several minutes (Netflix, youtube)
    • It's cause all system freezing, have to force reset by power button.

    opening edge would cause desktop stuck, alt+tab stuck and even everthing else sometimes. It happens in win10 after 2021.12.7's windows update. It's happening everytime while opening edge, simply shut it down would cause refresh of desktop and then it would be fine, but how am I able to set it default while EDGE is stucked everytime opening it?

    I have the same issue as well running a brand new Asus Tuf gaming A15.

    The only errors that were logged in event viewer are the typical ones for a hard reset. Although 506 was a bit sus.

    There doesn't seem to be any other relevant events but I have definitely only had this issue while running Edge.

    This seems like a particularly bad crash if it can freeze the entire system with the keyboard not responding.

    From comments here it doesn't seem like a hardware issue at all unless the program is causing a hardware problem.

    As many have mentioned my version of edge is the most recent update.
