    If Microsoft Edge is unable to open pages and returns an error message, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

    1. Clear Cache and Cookies: Sometimes, corrupted cache or cookies can prevent pages from loading. You can clear them by going to Edge settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data.
    2. Reset Edge Settings: Resetting Edge to its default settings can resolve issues caused by misconfigurations. You can do this by going to Edge settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their default values.
    3. Disable Extensions: Some extensions may interfere with page loading. Try disabling all extensions and see if that resolves the issue. You can manage extensions in Edge settings > Extensions.
    4. Check for Updates: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge. Go to Edge settings > About Microsoft Edge to check for updates.
    5. Network Settings: Sometimes, network configurations can affect browser performance. Check your network settings and ensure that there are no proxy settings enabled that could be blocking Edge.
    6. Reinstall Edge: If none of the above solutions work, consider uninstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Edge. This can help resolve deeper issues with the installation.

    If the problem persists after trying these steps, it may be beneficial to check for any known issues specific to your version of Edge.

    Hi, good day!

    • When was the last time it worked properly?
    • Have you made any changes to your computer recently?

    Please try this if it helps.

    Press Windows key+R to open Run then type:

    %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\

    Make a backup of the User Data folder and save it on another location

    After that delete the said folder on the path above

    Please check if this fixes the issue.

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.
