Hi Izzym09! Thanks for reaching out. My name is Princess. I'm an independent advisor. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I would suggest you refer to the below solution and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

Solution 1. Reset Microsoft Edge settings.

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Copy the URL below.

edge://settings/resetProfileSettings?origin=userclick

3. Paste it on the Microsoft Edge URL bar.
4. Press the Enter key.
5. Click on "Reset".

Note: This will reset your startup page, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs. It will also disable all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. Your favorites, history, and saved passwords will not be cleared.

6. Safe restart the PC, and when it boots up, check to see whether or not the problem has been resolved.

Solution 2. Perform a clean boot in Windows

Summary:

A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your program or app. This is similar to starting Windows in Safe Mode but provides you more control over which services and programs run at startup to help you isolate the cause of a problem.
