Windows 10: Edge freezing when I access some bookmark folders

When I click on some bookmarks folders, Edge freezes and I have to close it and then open it again. This only started happening about a month ago. So, I can't access some of my bookmarks anymore. All other functions seem to be working OK.

Does Edge browser have a bookmark manager?

This answer is pointless and does not address the question: how to manage bookmarks once they are imported to edge.

I find no way in edge to move bookmarks from one folder to another, to sort bookmark folders or contents, or to move folders in or out of folders.

Outside of edge, I can find the bookmarks file when I search through files but it doesn't seem to match the actual bookmarks used by edge, i.e., I put a bookmark folder named "test" in the bookmarks while using edge. But that "test" folder didn't show in
the bookmarks files under program files.

Very clumsy program from a company doing this forever - seem to have thrown away all the useful for something utterly maddening.

 

IE 11 on Windows 10 crash but not on Windows 7

I'm experiencing a similar issue with IE-11 on Win-10pro. Other browsers function correctly (Edge, Firefox), but IE-11 freezes when I attempt to access the bookmarks menu. I've changed no settings - clean install of Win-10pro a week ago due to new system
configuration. All seems to function perfectly otherwise - no issues. Tried all steps listed with no effect, but did not use 'delete personal settings' option on reset (it's a pain to put all that info back into the browser). All updates are current and
not having other issues... any other suggestions?

UPDATE - It seems that it is simply taking a really long time for IE-11 to 'load' the bookmarks menu, for some unknown reason. After further attempts, I find that the bookmark menu will respond if I'm patient for a bit after starting the browser. On my
first attempt to access the bookmarks after starting IE, I get the 'spinning wheel' for about 30 seconds or so until the bookmark responds. After that, it seems to respond normally for the remainder of the time I have the browser open. Each time I restart
IE, it exhibits the same behavior - bookmark menu freezes when accessed until I click on something, then a spinning wheel, then normal response afterwards. No behavior like this with other browsers. Edge responds perfectly.

Have you tried clearing your browsing data? Before doing so ensure you know your passwords for sites that you auto log into.

There is no need to delete your "passwords" as part of the clearing however some sites are using cookies to log you in. These should be cleared. I would delete History, Cookies and Temporary files.
