[Windows update installing the new Edge browser] Update KB4559309 Makes Computer Unbearably Slow

Anonymous

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,

    I'm getting really long restart/startup times. Takes around 15 minutes to do a restart. Not sure what update caused this , but I installed 2004 on 6/05 and it never took that long before that update.

    Something happens to my computer EVERY TIME there is a update, useless updates! (come on seriously font updates, "dark mode" and emojis! USELESS!! they serve no good purpose because those who use them already use them without the stupid updates!) This time it crashed my computer pretty much for good. 

    I have owned a version of windows since windows 95 and they came out with windows 7 and I finally said wow they made one that works. and NOW they give us windows 10 the version that deletes your work with every update, then here comes July 2020 and they update it WHILE I was working even though I had it set to not update me without asking. And now all I get is the blue screen of death! my laptop was not even a year old and this is the 4th business computer that has had this issue. I may be a small business but seeing as how I buy 8 computers every year for work I can clearly see buying windows is not going to be on my list.  

    This last update has taken everything! Every last file that I just put in and it took from me right as I was trying to back it up Whoever was the person that made windows 10 such a flawed machine should consult the person who originally wrote windows 7. I have to replace so many computers now, I certainly won't be shopping windows or microsoft anymore.
