Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

Before we proceed, we require more information to assist you better.

• Did you make any changes to the computer prior to this issue?

I suggest you to boot the computer into Safe Mode environment and check.

Method 1: Safe Mode with networking.

To use a Safe Boot option, follow these steps:

• Restart your computer and start pressing the F8 key on your keyboard. On a computer that is configured for booting to multiple operating systems, you can press the F8 key when the Boot Menu appears.
• Select an option to “Safe mode with networking” using the arrow keys on the keyboard when the Windows Advanced Options menu appears, and then press
  ENTER.

If you are able to boot your computer into Safe Mode, I suggest you to update your graphic and all other driver check.

Method 2: update drivers.

Before you update the drivers, please enable the computer to get automatic updates,

Download and install drivers

Note: The above links applies to Windows 10 as well.

You may also download the latest graphic and all other drivers from the manufacturer’s website and install it on your computer.

Now, boot the computer into normal mode and check. If you are still facing an issue with Microsoft Edge, I suggest you to run
System File Checker scan.

Method 3:Run the
SFC (System File Checker).

System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

Refer the following Microsoft knowledge based article to perform SFC scan.
