Found the issue. RealPlayer was corrupted. I Un-installed and re-installed and Edge works just fine now
Edge - performance problem

Edge is current
Edge settings - clear cache on exit
This happens on one and only one system... the one I use most
When I open favorites to select a web site ( I have many sub folders and lots of saves URLs), Edge turns white and will take minutes to open the favorites folder; then I have to wait again if I have to scroll down the list.
Example. I had to look at Verizon wireless data plan usage in an open Edge session. I selected other favorites and the folder the Verizon web site was in. I took 2 minutes for the window to open that contained the web sites. Edge was "white" and the little circle was swirling. Once the window open with the web sites, I had to scroll down to the Verizon site and Edge went white again with the little circle swirling. 3 minutes later the web site window came back and I could scroll down to the Verizon web site. ( I used a stop watch to time the events)
Once the Verizon site opened, performance was immediate on site page navigation.
Another example. I like to have 2 edge windows open. If I go to settings and more and select New Windows, it takes 1 1/2 minutes to open it with the same issue as above if I use favorites.
On any the windows10 Pro system in my house, none of these problems exist. New window is immediate and so is favorites. This is the system I use all day. Why the poor performance?

Can you please inform us which version of Edge are you using?
I assume that you're using Edge Chromium. There might be some issues with your Edge browser.
Please make sure that your Edge browser is up to date and scan your device for malware. You can also refer to this doc to repair Edge browser to see if it can solve the issue.

2021-03-23T15:20:48.133+00:00 Microsoft Edge
Version 89.0.774.57 (Official build) (64-bit)I run Malwarebytes weekly.... clean
However, I am the CTO of my family unit and have my grandsons run weekly registry, malware & file cleanups at their homes. I did not here.I released 3 GB of temp files and cleaned the registry. Rebooted and the Favorites opened smoothly ( I'll continues to check it).
New window still takes ~ 1 minute to open. Any thoughts?
I tried the App repair but Microsoft Edge has no repair function available.

Have you tried to repaire Edge from Control Panel? You can find the Repair option when you right click Edge in the list of Uninstall or change a program:
You can also try to clear browser cache to see if it can speed up the browser. Press Ctrl + Shift+ Delete when the browser is open and choose what you want to clear.
Besides, browser extensions can also have influence on this. You can try to disable all the browser extensions to see if it can help. -

I suggest that you can try to reset Edge browser. Before resetting it, please backup the important data and settings in Edge. Then you can try to reset Edge browser according to this article.
