Window 10 was working very well until recently after upgrading to Windows Edge chrome (or at least the is the only event that I can associated to this issue) I am getting persistent OS stalls or "not responding" that affect all applications when running Edge. Common to see "waiting for cache" in lower left browser window when the the entire system stalls and stops responding. Common to see the cursor hour glass for 30 or more seconds before system and affected applications start to respond normally.

2020-04-22T20:48:31+00:00 I get the hint, you have no more ideas to explain why Win Edge Chrome locks up the entire win10 OS and other non-internet apps while "waiting for Cache", which BTW takes about 30 to 40 sections to complete and systems returns to normal operation. Very annoying and I think the issue resides on the server not my PC

2020-05-12T15:37:17+00:00 If anyone is following this thread, I have found the answer to my issue... Uninstall Window Edge Chrome and revert back to using Google Chrome. Thank you Windows for helping to wean me off using your applications and possible in the future your entire OS. :)
