Detailed solutions for Microsoft Edge crashes

If the quick tips don’t help, let’s go into a little more detail. Let’s start by updating the browser. Go to Edge’s settings, then to “About Microsoft Edge”. This will automatically check for updates. If an update is available, it will be installed immediately.

If the problem persists, you should clear your cache and cookies. Open Settings, navigate to “Privacy, search and services” and select “Choose what to delete” under ” Clear browsing data “. Here, select “Cached images and files” and “Cookies and other site data” and click “Clear now”.

Extension issues are also a common cause. Open Edge, go to Extensions and disable all extensions. Then re-enable extensions one by one to find out which one is causing the crash.

An unstable internet connection can also become a problem. Make sure your connection is stable by using a different browser or device.

A thorough virus scan with a reliable antivirus program can help rule out malware. Make sure your antivirus program is up to date and run a full scan of your system.

If all of these steps do not work, reset the browser. In the settings, under “Reset”, you will find the option “Reset settings to default”. This can help if a deeper setting is causing the crashes.

If none of that helps, use Windows’ own repair feature. To do this, go to Windows Settings, then Apps, find Microsoft Edge, select Change, then Repair.
