New Microsoft Edge freezing intermittently forcing restart

Anonymous

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, from today morning I was facing same problem. My edge sometime freezes when opening a website and switching tabs. And yes, I was playing video. but freeze never happened while watching video. It happened when i tried to open a website in new tab. The freeze happens only for 6-8 sec, after it comes back normal.
