Microsoft is urgently fixing crash issues in Microsoft Edge browser

Recently, when users upgraded the Microsoft Edge browser to version 90, it seemed that they began to experience frequent browser crashes. Recently, a large number of users have reported that they are facing continuous browser crashes when they play YouTube videos. A post describing this problem in detail on Reddit can even be traced back to 15 days ago.

At that time, an engineer from Microsoft responded on the forum, asking users to try to disable hardware acceleration as a solution to the problem. However, the engineer confirmed on Reddit yesterday that this error may be more serious than originally expected, and there are a “couple of situations around this.” In addition, he also added that users who are facing browser crashes can try to download and run the latest Canary version to check whether their problems have been resolved by the bug fixes implemented in this version, and hope that users who are affected Can provide feedback and crash reports.

This problem can continue to reproduce, that is, the user opens YouTube and starts playing the video in full-screen mode, and then the browser becomes unresponsive, and then the browser directly crashes. According to Reddit user feedback, the current temporary solution is to go to the task manager of the browser (press shift + esc) and close the task that consumes the most resources.

Before the fix update is finally introduced into the stable version, we may also see more users encountering this problem. You can try to download Microsoft Edge Canary or change other browsers to avoid this problem.
