Last night I updated my windows 10 pro using KB:4559309. Since then my computer performance has absolutely tanked. my startup time is probably triple, loading any window has a few second delay.

I attempted to uninstall the update however windows tells me that it is required and cannot be removed.

This update has essentially rendered my brand new computer useless.

Please help!

Hey there, everyone

I have spoken to Missy Quarry, from the Edge team, and they are investigating this problem. However, they really need more details submitted though the Feedback Hub on Windows 10. 

To submit feedback, please go to start > Feedback Hub. 

You will need to click onto report a problem. Then enter your feedback/problem you are having with Microsoft Edge. On the categories you will need to make sure you have the following drop down options selected in the image underneath:

The more detail you can submit, the better it will be for the Edge team to find out what is causing this issue. So the detail box that has the test comment, should detail everything you are experiencing. 

Hope this helps, 

Regards,

    The one thing that helped me a little was to adjust the paging. It didn't completely restore previous performance levels, but I did see some improvement. These are the instructions I followed:

    Press Windows (Start), type performance. In the popup menu, select Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.

    • Select Go Advanced tab and click on Change.
    • Uncheck the box next to Automatically manage paging file size for all drives. Highlight the Drive that your Windows 10 is installed on. Select Custom size then change the Initial size and Maximum size to the Recommended size. After that, click Set.
    • Click OK button. Restart your PC for the changes to take effect.

    I wish they would just let us roll back this update and not force it on us.

    Might work for a while, but being done via automatic update policy... which proably means it will download and install again.... Microsoft needs to fix all the bugs and make it optional rather than a forced update.. only used edge to download a browser of my choice...  edge is not one of the best browsers out there

    You can uninstall new Edge Chromium by opening cmd and then typing 

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application*83.0.478.56*\Installer\setup.exe" –uninstall –system-level –verbose-logging

    In boldit can be possible that you have an older version, then change version number accordingly like in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application"
