1. End Task in Task Manager: Right-click on the taskbar and select “Task Manager.” Look for “MicrosoftEdge” under the “Details” tab, right-click on it, and select “End task.” This will close any background processes and allow Edge to open.
2. Remove Unwanted Extensions: Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of Edge and select “Extensions.” Delete any extensions that you don’t recognize or no longer use.
3. Update Microsoft Edge: Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of Edge, select “Help and feedback,” and then select “About Microsoft Edge.” If updates are available, let Edge update and restart.
4. Clear Browsing Data: Click on the three dots in the top-right corner of Edge, select “Settings,” then “Privacy, search, and services,” and finally “Choose what to clear.” Check all boxes except for “passwords” and “autofill form data” and click “Clear now.”
5. Repair Microsoft Edge: Search for “Edge” in the Windows search bar and select “Apps & features.” Click on “Microsoft Edge,” then “Modify,” and finally “Repair.”
