If you’ve recently upgraded to Windows 10 Creators Update, and found that your Microsoft Edge browser not working properly, you’re not alone. Many Windows users are reporting it. The good news is, you can easily fix it by yourself. Here are 4 fixes for you to try.
- Unlike most browsers, Edge does not support third-party plugin support. If you are able to log into DocuSign via another browser but not in Edge, there is typically a stored user credential that is interfering. To delete stored login credentials in Edge: Open Microsoft Edge; At the top-right, click the Settings drop-down labeled as ‘’.
- Exact same here. Google must have an answer, Microsoft doesn't and now promotes Edge only. Seems like to go back to an earlier version of Windows 10 may work, but not a good security move, I'm sure. We'll see if anyone answers here. Thanks for letting me know you.
- Microsoft returned to its roots with Windows 10, and with it added the successor to its now-defunct Internet Explorer browser: Microsoft Edge.It’s designed to replace Microsoft’s older browser.
Note that you may not need to try them all. Just work your way down the list until you find the one works for you.
Step 1: Clean Boot Your PC
If it’s the first time you had a problem with your Edge browser, one of the first things you should do is to restart your PC, better yet, do a clean boot. It allows you to run your PC with only a minimal set of drivers and programs:
1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key and R at the same time, type msconfig and press Enter.
Videos Don’t Work: If you are not able to watch your favorite videos on YouTube or other sites of videos then the reason behind this problem might be a breakdown in communication your Graphics card (GPU) and your Edge. Reset MS Edge if the above steps did not work: Press on Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Click on More details arrow at the bottom of the window. Select Details tab. Now scroll down and locate every entry with Microsoft Edge name in it. Right-click on each of them and select End Task to stop MS Edge from running.
2) Go to Services tab, check the box for Hide all Microsoft services. Click the Disable all button.
3) Go to Startup tab and click Open Task Manager.
4) Select each item on the list and click Disable.
5) Close your Task Manager and restart your computer.
6) If Edge still opens and closes unexpectedly in a few seconds, move on to see if the steps below help.

1) On your keyboard, press the Windows key and S at the same time, then type powershell. Right-click Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
When prompted with the administrator permission, click Yes to continue.
2) In the PowerShell window, copy and paste in the following command:
3) You will see a Deployment Operation Progress pop up. Wait for the process to finish. Then try your Edge again.
Step 3: Use Group Policy Editor

2) On the left side of the pane, go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components. Under Windows Components category, click App package Deployment.
