Microsoft Edge is slow in closing

when clicking the "Red X" to close Edge, there is a delay before the browser closes.  Is there a fix for this?  Thanks!

Hi,

We understand the issue you are facing and will assist you.

I suggest you to follow the methods provided below and check if it helps.

Method 1:

I suggest you clear the Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

  1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
  2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
  3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and      click on Clear.

If issue still persists try method 2

Method 2:

Try to run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption. SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

  1. Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
  2. In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
         sfc /scannow

Hope this helps. Keep us posted on the status for further assistance.

I routinely clear the Edge and Bing and Internet Explorer, and just today I did run the sfc /scannow.  The scan did find problems and repaired them, and after again clearing the edge, etc. the same delay took place after I opened Edge to my Home Page, and then clicked on an article that was listed about McDonald's in France.  Again, or shall I say still, I have the delay in closing the browsing window.  I must admit though that I believe this laptop is operating more quickly then prior to the scan.  Thanks for that suggestion.

What really is another concern is - yesterday after running sfc scannow, later a whole bunch of Microsoft Office 2013 updates downloaded.  Now my question is, did the sfc scan do something that deleted these previous downloaded updates to be deleted (if they really are previous downloaded), or where there really new Office 2013 updates that were issued through Windows Update yesterday.  Comments?  Thanks!

The delay in closing an Edge browser window is still a concern.  It seems to has even gotten worst with the latest build I just received yesterday (fast ring - July 15, 2016).  Is any other users experiencing this?

I was on YouTube using Edge, and I could not exit YouTube, I had to restart the PC to get out of the YouTube's web site.  What is causing this?
