Since I upgraded to Windows 11, I have to continuously hit refresh all the time to get most web pages to load using Edge.

    I changed settings/display/graphics from let window decide to high priority as suggested in previous thread and changed tracking prevention to Strick. These seemed to help. Not sure what you mean by High Priority? Are you referring to Strick prevention or something else?

    Hi @John Sheldon

    What I mean is in Settings> Display> Graphics, clicking Microsoft Edge> Options, choosing High performance.

    For the Tracking prevention in edge://settings/privacy, I think Balance is enough. If you think Strick works better in your Edge browser, you can also use Strick.

    Thanks for confirming that the settings help.
