Windows 10: Small area top right of monitor 1 can't click, restart/close MS Edge to fix.

FYI. Unable to reproduce bug. Ended processes in task manager until problem disappears, found MS Edge process to be the cause.

:)

 

How to close edge that is locked into a hostile web page?

• if it will let you, click on the 3 dots on the top right and go to settings, under 'open with' make sure that previous pages is not selected.
  
• close Edge using Task Manager
• search for a web address in Cortana (eg type www.google.co.uk into Cortana)
  Edge will open with your selected sit and the dodgy one, do not click on any other tabs.
• close edge in the normal way (i.e. click the X)

Edge should now open normally, you can change the setting back if you wish.

[edit] if it wont let you do step 1 do steps 2&3 then start at 1 again

MS Edge on my WinPhone 10 crashes since a few days.

MS Edge has always worked fine on my beloved Lumia 735. Unfortunately, since a few days, Edge stops running after some scrolling and closes itself.

I found on some MS Help on line the suggestion to clear Edge History and I did so, but now Edge doesn't start at all or, if started, it closes itself immediately.

• How could I fix this sudden problem?
