Troubleshooting browser crashes or performance issues on Windows 10
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
My microsoft edge will occasionally freeze and crash and cause issues with my pc: one time when I open Microsoft edge it black screen and crashed so I decided to instead use opera GX another browser I have that is very good. However, when I loaded up Opera GX it crashed, and then my whole laptop background went black, and every app crashed upon opening it. I restarted my PC and it worked fine again but ever since then I’ve been having issues with edge crashing and causing other apps to crash. Please help.

This seems like a hardware issue.
Please go to edge://settings/system
