Windows 10: Unable to attach files from my documents

This evening, I was trying to upload my resume to my company's trusted website, but I was unable to attach the file. When I open the files from the app on my desktop, I can access them, but I am unable to attach any files anywhere. I tried to attach a file from my documents into my Gmail to see if it was a problem with that website or my computer, only to have the same issue. When this happens, the window stops responding and I get the pop-up box that Microsoft Edge is not responding, and I have to close the program. If this persists, I will never be able to send a document from my laptop

Unable to attach a document

Just purchased an HP Spectre X360 last night and am unable to even attach a document to an email in Gmail....I have switched from Edge to Chrome and still after 4 hours I cannot attach a file. Have never had a problem in the past with Windows 7 Pro. I
have restarted the system multiple times and still cannot attach. Wishing now i had taken my old laptop somewhere and had them try and save it instead of buying new. Any suggestions before i take it back or throw it out the window?
