Microsoft Edge Not Responding!!

Pecky — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:06:25 GMT

I have been getting this message for three days. I have cleared cookies & cache and rebooted several times. I am still getting it. Can someone give me some suggestions on what else I can do? It is so annoying. I have no idea what caused this to happen. Thanks for any suggestions you can give me.:

Download a program called 'CCleaner'. It's free and run that. I'm using Edge right now! HTH!

That happened to me when this computer was almost NEW, I had to get technical help from my provider. It was a programming glitch.

Try downloading/reinstall the Edge browser again.

Go to microsoft dot com/edge to download and reinstall Microsoft Edge.

Or go to the MIcrosoft Store and download it from there. Search Edge.

It takes just minutes!

Microsoft Store icon...click that and search for Edge Browser.

Edge Browser icon:

@SilleeMee Thank you I will try that. It doesn't happen when I am on a website, it is trying to get to the website it happens. Thanks again everyone for your help!

@SilleeMee I reinstalled it and it is still happening. I may just have to contact Microsoft.

@Pecky

Try Reset Settings.

Three dots in upper right corner, go to Settings. Left side look for Reset Settings.

The unresponsive browser could be happening b/c of an add-on extension or some app running on the browser.

@SilleeMee by doing this what will it reset? Do I need to do anything after that? I'm sorry, I am not real technical but have been learning alot lately.

@Pecky

This is what MS says Reset Settings will do:

Reset settings

This will reset your startup page, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs. It will also turn off all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. Your favorites, history and saved passwords will not be cleared.

This is what Microsoft says about your problem. Answer on their website at the link below.

The answer...reset Edge. They tell you how to do it.

Microsoft Edge (Not Responding) - Microsoft Community

@Foxxee I have searched everywhere on what to do on microsoft sight and of course, this one didn't show up. I was going to do the repair Edge next but I will give this one a try.

I would just Reset Settings. You won't lose any important data. All you will need to do after a reset is choose your preferred search engine and add back selected start-up page tabs. If you have previously added any extensions then you'll need to restart those.

What have you got to lose if the browser isn't working anyway?

Is your computer running low on memory or storage? When that happens, programs and websites can be slow, or impossible, to load.

Re: Microsoft Edge Not Responding!!

Pecky — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 18:00:11 GMT

@ValuSkr I did check and I have alot of storage left.

Update, I did the reset and it worked!! It is faster than ever now. Thanks to everyone for their help!

Glad it worked!

Your problem right off the bat is you're using a Microsoft browser. Ditch it!
