Hi 

My laptop just updated to Edge and its running very slow. It takes over 10 minutes just to load one page. 

It has also stopped internet explorer working and getting error message ‘Cannot reach this page’. 

i even tried to download Chrome but its not allowing that either. 

Any ideas how i can fix this? This is a new laptop and now cant use it!

    I've tried both those fixes and it's still super slow loading. The rewards tab crashes out 50% of the time and very often Edge loses the recent tabls on a new page. I'm starting to think it's just a 'bad' browser.

    I've had horrible Edge (Chromium) performance problems for ages - all new pages took an age to load.  After days of investigations I've tracked this to the Edge Secure DNS settings and the fix is trivial.  Go into Setting -> Privacy, Search, and Services and turn off Secure DNS.

    I had a really odd custom secure DNS setup configured and I don't know where it came from, but removing it cleared up the issue immediately.

    Hopefully this will help others with similar problems.
