Without further delay, let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why Microsoft Edge May Be Slow on Your PC<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we start with ways to speed up your browser, let us understand why exactly Microsoft Edge is slowing down. There can be various reasons why<\/span> the browser is slow and freezes<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These include <\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using an outdated version of Microsoft Edge.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping Pre-load Tabs On in Settings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using higher settings for tracking prevention<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening up multiple tabs with other background applications.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Too many cookies and cache\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All these issues might be the reason behind the slower performance of Microsoft Edge. Not to mention the system configuration of the PC you are using also plays a crucial role in the performance of your browser too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ways to Fix Microsoft Edge Running Slow on Windows<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, knowing about the factors that may be causing the error on your PC with Edge, it is time to look at some of the fixes that might help you out!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #1 &#8211; Check for Browser Updates<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Every software you use has a specific time frame within which it requires an update. That is because bugs can develop over time and cause overall performance issues, such as Microsoft Edge not responding.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The same goes for browsers. Thankfully, Edge comes from a trusted and reliable brand like Microsoft that prioritizes these bugs and fixes them to release the latest updates. However, it is still the duty of the user to ensure that the version of Edge they are using is up to date and keep looking for the latest version every 15-days or so.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your browser was not slow before but has recently started slowing down, chances are that the bug has taken over. All you have to do is wait for a bug-fix update to be released, and your browser will be fine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To check for updates, follow these two steps. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong> &#8211; Open the browser settings from the drop-down menu in the top right corner.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14835 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Open-browser-settings.png\" alt=\"Open browser settings\" width=\"258\" height=\"512\" sizes=\"(max-width: 258px) 100vw, 258px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong> &#8211; In settings, navigate to About Microsoft Edge from the left panel, and you will see the update status.<\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14836 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.systweak.com\/content\/wp\/bg_systweak_com\/uploads\/2023\/04\/navigate-to-About-Microsoft-Edge.png\" alt=\"navigate to About Microsoft Edge\" width=\"512\" height=\"250\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Fix #2 &#8211; Turn OFF Preload Tabs in Settings<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Usually, there are a few tabs that your browser opens for you on launch to feed you important information or the ones that you have already set on launch.
