Microsoft Edge, like all popular web browsers, is generally very reliable. Unlike the old Internet Explorer, it works without any issues all the time.
Microsoft frequently releases updates to fix Edge issues and add new features. If you have not turned off Edge updates and are running the latest version of Edge, you should not experience any issues.
If the Edge browser is not working as expected, you might want to check all installed extensions and turn them off temporarily to see if that fixes the issue. Turning off an extension is the first troubleshooting step that you can do instead of reinstalling the Edge browser.
This guide shows you how to view all installed extensions in the Edge browser and how to enable and disable them.
NOTE: We recommend that you update Edge to the latest version before trying the solutions below, especially if you are encountering an issue.
