Hello, since last Monday I tried open MS Edge in both my PCs and none of them open. What shows is: browser not responding. I tried every possible way to open, the only option that worked was deleting User Data file from Edge system folder. But I don't want to do that every time I restart my PC.

It looks like a profile folder corrupt issue. Did you mean that the browser not responding error would still occur after you restart your PC? Have you logged into your profile with an account before? You can try repairing Microsoft Edge first at Apps & features.
