    Issue: Status access violation when watching YouTube videos both normal and live. This also included Facebook live videos. I even discovered that merely having the Youtube video paused but the tab open would after some time (could be a few seconds to a few minutes) the status access violation would pop up.

    I believe I have found a resolution after countless hours of research and suffering. At this point, I have tried nearly all of the common fixes that pop up online concerning fixing this issue on Edge including some of the more unorthodox fixes like disabling hardware acceleration in Edge, creating a new profile, trying the BETA version of Edge, updating bios, running scannow in command prompt, and updating RAM firmware.

    What I did to fix the issue was disable XMP in my bios and then manually select the RAM clock speed while leaving everything else in auto. I am using an ASUS motherboard. I checked the manual clock speed I set in bios using Task Manager, clicking on performance and then memory just to verify that I am still using the faster clock speed. It certainly seems in my case that XMP was the culprit for whatever reason. Maybe Microsoft can look into it and introduce a fix.

    So far, it has been a few hours of watching videos on YouTube and I have not received another status access violation. Hopefully, if you are suffering from this issue this fixes your problem. Happy streaming!

    My setup:

    Intel 13900K CPU

    Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 16GB 5600mhz RAM (x4)

    ASUS TUF Gaming NVIDIA 4090 GPU

    ASUS ROG STRIX Z790-E Gaming Wifi Motherboard

    Windows 11

    While it's easy to say it's the processer. It's not the processors' fault. It's the way windows 11 interacts with the hardware.
    I have a dell g17 with RTX4070 i9 13900HX 64GB ram [non dell]. I forcefully wiped and downgraded my OS to windows 10 and the issue was gone 600 hours of chrome/edge usage no issue. Upgraded to windows 11 issue was back in 2 days.

    So the only really fix is move back to 10 or move back to win 11 21h2 [my issue started after I moved to 22h2 and persisted in 23h2].

    @Microsoft you should be publishing the root cause of this error instead of the 30 generic useless steps give to FIX the issue

    Hi, MiltonAngelSoto

    Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.

    It's unfortunate to hear that you're encountering the "Status\_Access\_Violation" issue while using web browsers on Windows 11. This error can be related to memory access violations or conflicts with system resources. Since you've already tried several troubleshooting steps, let's explore some additional actions to address this issue:
    
    1. Check for System File Corruption: Run the Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM) tool to repair any corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and enter the following commands one by one: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    2. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest drivers for your specific model.
    3. Run a Memory Diagnostic: Use the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to check for memory-related issues. Press the Windows key, type "Windows Memory Diagnostic," and follow the on-screen instructions to run the diagnostic.
    4. Check for System BIOS Updates: Visit your computer manufacturer's website to see if there are any BIOS updates available for your system. Updating the BIOS can sometimes resolve compatibility issues.
    5. Check for System Overheating: Ensure that your system is not overheating, as overheating can lead to unexpected errors. Clean any dust from the cooling vents and consider using a laptop cooling pad if you are using a laptop.
    6. Check for System Hardware Issues: If the issue persists, it may be worth checking for hardware issues such as faulty RAM modules or a failing hard drive. Consider running hardware diagnostics or seeking assistance from a qualified technician.
    If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know. 
    

    Best Regards
