Dev tools stops working

Question

Hello!

I have a little problem with Microsoft Edge. From time to time while working with dev tools when I hover over an element Edge suddenly stops highlighting elements. Also trackpad gestures stops working i.e. going back in a web browser history. It's very annoying cause I need to close the whole browser and open all cards again.

Answer 1

Dear Jakub,I understand that Edge stopped responding again after the reset;

In this case, I have no new suggestions for the problem, but rest assured, maybe some other specialist can help you in this matter;

Sorry for not being able to help you;

Good luck and see you soon!

Answer 2

I've reseted the settings yesterday and today again Microsoft Edge became unresponsive. Trackpad gestures stopped working and dev tools stopped highlighting the elements on the hover.

Answer 3

Hello Jakub, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Luiz Cruz, an independent consultant and I would be happy to help you.

Initially I recommend that you see if there is an update for Edge:

Open Edge and click on the three dots at the top right to access the settings;

Now on the left of the screen, click on "About Microsoft Edge";

If the Edge is already updated, it will be informed on the screen;

If even after updating the problem happens, try to reset your browser settings:

Open Edge and click on the three dots at the top right to access the settings;

Click Reset settings on the left;

Click Restore default settings values ​​and then click Reset;

Restart the application and see the behavior;

I hope I helped, see you soon!
