Quit working about twi weeks ago (when I first noticed). I updated edge and it worked for a few days, but now it is not working again Reinstalled Edge and no Change. Can view PDFs. Just not save, save as, or print - Saveas pdf. I can "Microsoft print to PDF". Edge just freezes\locks up. Private window. No extensions.

You can check and try the below and see how it goes.

Method 1:

  • Launch MS Edge
  • Click on the 3 dots
  • Click on Settings
  • Click on Reset settings from the left side
  • Click on Restore settings to their default values and then click on Reset
  • After doing the above check and try it again

Method 2:

  • You can also try to repair it by Pressing Windows key + I
  • Click on Apps
  • Under Installed apps look for Microsoft Edge and then click on the 3 dots and click on Modify and then click on Repair
  • Check and try it again

If you will continue to experience the issue even after trying the above and if you felt that this is with regards to the recent update, you can also send a feedback to the team that is working on Edge and hopefully a fix will be applied soon on the next update and you can provide a feedback from the browser itself by clicking on the 3 dots > Help and feedback > Send feedback.

    I had done method 2. That did not fix anything. I had disabled all extensions. And that did not fix anything.

    Never noticed option 1. Now I see that option bright as day lol.

    Info below for others if they have same issue.

    After reset I lost all pages that were not in a tab and recovered them via history.

    When I went to extensions, I get a popup that I never did before. Happened everytime.

    My extensions are still there. This kept popping up until I enabled an extension.

    Well after doing that, it seems I am working now.

    Enabled my extensions and still working.

    If my issue resurfaces, I will reply.

    Thanks!

    It wasn't working then i updated to latest Edge and it worked for a few days then quit working.

    I updated Dobe reader and no change. It stinks I can save a PDF when it opens in an Edge tab from a website. Doint he "Microsoft print to PDF" is annoying. All other browsers I have work just fine.
