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

    When edge hangs the entire explorer stop responding. Therefore start does not pop out and thus not being able to run edge as Admin.

    Renamed to what?? The Edge browser is completely unusable. So very disappointed with MS.

    Complete garbage.
