Windows 10: All browsers keep crashing shortly after opening

I'm on windows 10 and have been facing this issue for around a week now. I had three browsers on my device when this issue started, those being edge, chrome and opera gx. at first Opera which I use most of the time began to crash 15-20 seconds after opening. this issue would only end when I'd restart my laptop a couple of times. I resorted to using chrome but now chrome is having the same issue alongside edge too. I've tried:-restarting my pc-reinstalling my browsers-using command center to check for corrupted files-creating a new user -reinstalling my windowsas far as I know all three of the

Browser Tab Crashing

Hi,

Corrupted browser cache and extensions are some of the things that can cause your browser to crash. To isolate your concern, we'd like to ask the following:

• Have you made any recent changes on your device prior to your concern?
• Have you tried using a different browser other than the ones mentioned above? If yes, did you encounter the same error?
• What are the troubleshooting steps that you've performed to resolve your concern?

To rule out any performance issues, we suggest that you replicate your concern while you're in the clean boot environment and check if the issue persists. To do this, follow the steps provided on this

link.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.

 

All browsers except Edge crash the instant they open.

Hi Moon,

I would suggest you to uninstall the latest windows update and restart your machine after uninstall the update.

What to do if your laptop fails to open any browser (windowsreport.com)

If it's not help after restart, can try the below methods.

1. Run CMD as administrator
   
2. Enter sfc /scannow to scan and repair the system file
   
3. After step 2 completed, enter chkdsk C: /f to scan and repair the disk issue
   
4. Restart your machine and check if the issue resolve

Add-Ons for Firefox crash since update to 80

I left Firefox open over night and attempted to login to LastPass this morning - all the addons crashed. I had Firefox Task Manager open at the time and before attempting the login all addons were in the list and not using very much resources. After attempting login, all of the addons disappeared from the Firefox Task Manager list.

I will try the additional suggestions.

If I want to try a new profile without losing my saved/sync profile (and hopefully with the option of syncing my data back into the new profile) what steps should I take? Or is it just a given that if it is profile corruption, the sync profile is junk...?

Thanks!
