How to Fix Microsoft Edge Crashes

Edge is a new browser from Microsoft. While it’s better than Internet Explorer in many ways, it has been reported to crash a lot on some systems. In this article we’ll try to help you fix Microsoft Edge crashes the easy way.

Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

The first thing you should do when your Edge starts crashing is run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooting tool. If you don’t have it, you can download it here.

Fix the Crashes Using Powershell

If running the troubleshooter doesn’t help, you’ll need to enter Powershell as administrator and fix the crashes from there. Here’s how:

1. Press the Windows key + X and open the Command Prompt as Administrator
2. In the Command Prompt, type in Powershell and hit Enter
3. Copy and paste this line into the Powershell window
   Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
4. Press Enter and wait until the command is completed (C:\Users\yourusername> will appear on the screen)
5. Reboot your PC and try to run Edge. The crashes should be fixed.
