My Microsoft Edge is slow to start downloading file

My Edge browser on new PC is very slow in action to download a file I chose on internet. Like it's take a while (15-30 seconds) to show up the file in Downloads and take the next action (Open or Save as). But everything after that are fast and furious (xD). I tried to reinstall Edge but doesnt work. So you guys have any ideals and solution can guides me?

    I'm posting this comment just in case anyone has the same issue:

    I solved it just disabling SmartScreen for Edge.

    Why the problem arose in the first place I cannot know.

    Good luck!

    Hi a third-party antivirus can cause this, or a browser extension, try disabling it one by one.
    A new computer, so programs installed by the manufacturer can also cause this.

    Alt+Shift+I, please send feedback and add diagnostic data so that the Edge team finds the error and 

    sent bug logs to partners for updating
