[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,

    Yes, I have a great problem with microsoft edge update. I wonder first of all how the edge team put out such **** as this. Did you guys no critique your own work before making your customers uncomfortable. This needs to be fixed like right away. 

    My problem with edge is:

    1. My computer at start-up is absolutely ten times slower that it was before the updates.
    2. When clicking on microsoft edge icon to open up the browser it is always saying that it is not responding do it wish to close the browser of wait. 
    3. Once microsoft does open up, it winds up just instantly shutting down and there you go back to the begin to logon with the slow slow start up. 

    Can you people just fix the problem. I see why everyone is going to ipads and says they will never go back to using anything but APPLE products. I think it is best at least you don't wind up with this problem. Help you customers who have put trust in MICROSOFT for so long.

    Hey there, 

    The engineers are trying to suit a wider audience from a mixture of age groups. 😊

    Most of the updates during the year are bug fixes and security updates for Windows 10. While the curator updates are updates bringing new features that are aimed at a particular group.

    I would suggest leaving feedback, although not under the same topic I have mentioned above. You want to file this under suggestion. This way, the engineers are able to make choices based on what you have suggested, along with the wider community who use Windows 10. 

    Hope this helps, 

    Regards,

    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.
