Chromium edge freeze and hang
karismajopd Ever since I installed edge now my win 10 hangs. The windows 10 is a fresh install on a new SSD hard drive. The problem is it attempts to get to a file on the hard drive says it's locked hangs for up to 30 sec to 2 minutes. My entire PC is hung then after that time it releases control. If I open Chrome it also does this. I found a way to uninstall edge using registry hack that worked resolved it. I wanted to use edge so I loaded it again now the problem is back again.

You say Chrome and Edge both have this problem, so should look into somewhere else other than Edge browser.
which file is it trying to access anyway? and how do you know this? any message shows up on the screen? if so uploading a screenshot here would help
