HTML code being displayed when I open a new tab in EDGE

Question

A new tab in Microsoft Edge can be opened by clicking on the "+" sign on the right hand side of the top bar. However, in my case at times (not always) when I am opening a new tab the tab is being opened with a lot of illegible html code. How can I correct this? Also this is going away when I refresh it two or three times? I have Windows 10. Can anybody pls help

Answer 2

Hi...tried all the methods but it is still not working. Infact when I choose repair it just reinstalls the Microsoft edge. I restarted the PC but even then I am getting the same error. Should I manually uninstall and reinstall Microsft edge?...In that case how should I recover my bookmarks and collections. Any suggestions?

Answer 3

I also just realized that if I scroll down I see the page got loaded correctly. But for some reason the HTML code is getting loaded in the top section of the page and as mentioned before it is happening at times and not always.

Edge is awesome but my website place2park is facing having some issue like Submit button not working (Tracking prevention for sites is not strict)., while in other browsers all is well.
