    Just had a similar issue occur when setting up a new laptop for a user. Using Event Viewer, I traced the issue down to what I believe is a sync error. Possibly related to SharePoint? Not certain.
    The fix was actually quite simple in this case.

    • Right click on Edge and launch an InPrivate session. (If InPrivate still crashes for you, unfortunately I don't have an answer there.)
    • Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your browser and open Settings.
    • Sign out of the user profile, and check the box to "Clear favorites, history, passwords, and other browsing data from this device."
    • Sign back in to the user profile, and relaunch Edge normally.

    Hopefully this will be useful to someone!

    So, today I have learned that the AppData is hidden. Once you get to your folder, click on view, click on show, click on hidden items. You will see it there. I ran into an issue where it will not let me delete even though I am the admin for the computer.

    I have tried everyone's suggestion and I can't keep the window open long enough to close tabs, click on settings, even see where the hang up is. I'm miss the day were could just click a button to uninstall a program.

    I am almost to a point where I might reset my computer. It would have been faster than 8 hours of research. Happy Saturday!

    Read an earlier reply from _AW_ regarding ESET Security. I tried this and it resolved the issue.

    Microsoft needs to fix this bug, as it seems to be appearing every time there is a new update. Edge is their browser and if it doesn't work with their updated OS, well.....???

    My problem is on a Surface Pro using Windows 11. It was working FINE up until today. Their possible solutions are of no help. I can't even delete the Edge App and reinstall it.

    Anxiously awaiting a solution as I have been using Edge for the past six months.
