Windows 10: Edge Keeps Crashing

Hi all, My wifes MS Edge has just started crashing. When she types in the address block and she gets 3 characters in, Edge totally shuts down. When you reopen it, it asks if you want to restore tabs or not. To check if this was something wrong with her computer, I opened Edge on mine and be darned if mine does the same thing. If I don't type in the address block and I just click on favorites it works fine. I tried Chrome and it Does Not have this problem. Also, I noticed that Edge did an update today. Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks

:)

 

edge keeps shutting down

Hi Darrell,

Welcome to Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.

I would suggest you to try the below methods and check if the Edge works fine:

Method 1:

I suggest you clear the Clear browsing data option
of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

• Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Edge.
• Select Settings and click on
  Choose what to clear.
• Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files
  and click on Clear.

Method 2:

If you are using any Proxy connection, then try disabling the proxy connection and check.

Follow the steps to disable proxy:

• • • • • • 
            Click the Settings icon at the top right corner in internet explorer.
            
          • 
            Click the Tools
            button, and then click Internet Options.
            
          • 
            Click the
            Connections tab, and then click LAN settings.
            
          • 
            Uncheck the box next to “proxy server for your LAN”.
            
          • 
            Click on OK to save the setting and close window.
            

Now check the issue by opening Edge.

Method 3:

Follow the below steps:

•Open PowerShell as administrator.

•Run the command

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
