Answer 1

Thanks, Dlc.

Answer 2

not sure if this will work for you as it did not work for me but you may want to try this.

1 delete your browser history

2 disable all of your browser extensions

3 restart the computer

If after a few days you are able to open the browser without issue try enabling a couple extensions and try that for a few days. Keep adding until you run into trouble as it maybe a bad extension that is causing the problem.

Answer 3

I've been having the same issue with Edge in Win 10 over the past month or so. Despite several incidents (over several weeks) of repair, I cannot seem to launch this program consistently. I've found that after repairing it three consecutive times on one occasion, I was able to launch it; however, I've also done the same thing without success and had to restart the computer to get the program to launch. Any suggestions? I like Edge, but it's beginning to cost me too much time. Many thanks.

Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

Method 2. Do clean boot:

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 game or program.

• In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
• On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
• Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
• Close Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.
