    Browsers (Edge/Chrome) freeze for about 2-2.5 minutes randomly!


    My browsers (both Edge 87.0.664.55 and Chrome 87.0.4280.88) freeze for about 2 - 2.5 minutes randomly! This is a fresh clean install of Windows10pro and did it before with the last install as well (I have all updates etc for win10pro 20H2, and latest Edge and Chrome.)

    It's always 2m13s-2m27s that it freezes. I can't switch tabs within the browser then or open tabs. I can move the window around or close it (thou I can't open the same browser till after the 2min+.) I can use the rest of the computer fine it seems, and even open/use a different browser fine. It will do it when closing a tab or just browsing through a webpage. I can't figure out what is causing it. Tried both browsers with and without uBlock Origin to see if it was ads causing this but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    No errors I can find anywhere.
    Any ideas??! This system I just built for my mother and she can't use it like this (its an older i5 750 with 8GB RAM, GTS8800 and three SSDs in it, but totally fine for her browsing etc.) *Sad
    Thanks all!

    :)

  2. Win10 system freezing for 2 minutes every 5-15 minutes

    Hi,

    I did a clean boot, and opened the Edge browser to have something to do. Within minutes, the system stopped responding to clicks for a few minutes, then executed all commands at once.

    Without rebooting to a normal state, I did the following-

    System file checker - no integrity violations.

    I did the list in the "improving performance" article; still freezing. Memory monitor showed lots of headroom in my 8G RAM.

    System Update says I'm current; I'm hesitant to force the Creators update before Microsoft offers it to me.

    Sigh.

    Browser History Missing in EDGE

    Your answer is not helpful. How did I discover I couldn't access the history? By following all the steps you listed below.

    Edge has problems and for this reason Chrome is now my browser and I am very happy. Absolutely no freezing !!!

    Internet browsers randomly freeze PC, automatically reboots

    This issue began happening a few days ago. I am experiencing a complete system freeze following an automatic reboot. This happens only with internet browsers (tested with Firefox, Chrome, and Edge) being open, typically while loading a webpage or having
    more than one tab open, but I am finding no specific pattern to trigger it as freezing occurs within minutes of use up to a few hours.

    Ive had some programs become unable to open such as Malwarebytes and Nexus Mod Manager as a freeze happened while loading in a program, a complete reinstall fixes the issue.

    Steps I have tried:

    • Delete browsing history via Control Panel Internet Options and browsers
    • Cleaned PC of dust - hardware temps are also good
    • Virus(Eset NOD32) & Malware(Malwarebytes) Scans - no negative results
    • msconfig services check - good
    • msert.exe microsoft security tool - no negative results
    • RAM check - good
    • Drivers up to date

    Any other ideas?
