Windows 10 1809 Edge not loading pages
After updating from 1803 to the new 1809 release Edge stopped working (as well as the Feedback hub), while Chrome and Firefox continued to work fine.
After some trial and error the culprit ended up being that the IP6 protocol was disabled on my wireless adapter - I'd turned it off for some other testing and apparently that stops Edge from working entirely.
Just putting this up here for anyone else that runs into this problem. It seems that issues with Edge not working after updating to 1809 have been going on for some time in the pre-release rings so I'm surprised that this hasn't been resolved yet.

i found one solution which was to switch the network from private to public.. but that I think turns off printer sharing... we shall see if this is a problem

I have the same problem BUT I am working on a desktop with a direct LAN connection. Not WiFi
Occasionally restarting the PC solves the problem for a few days. Then it recurs
I hoped the new Edge release would solve it. But nope!
deleting and reinstalling did not work
any more ideas?
- Dwight WilliamsCopper ContributorThe new Microsft Edge will resolve the issue that you are having. The older MS Edge is now classified has a legacy Edge. This new Edge updates every 6 weeks and is based on Chromium. This new browser is significantly faster and more reliable the it's predecessor.

It is the new Edge that I have just had the issue with. I turned on IPV6 and it resolved the issue. I only had a problem since returning back on site and using the docking station. Chrome still works fine so there is some issue with the new edge and something in networking requiring IPV6 to be enabled.
O/S is 1909 Windows 10 enterprise.

Following worked for me!
I have only 1 user on my pc, that is administrator a/c created by the windows 10 installation. I never bothered to create any other a/c as I did not required.
After the update of 1809, edge browser was unable to show web pages. For pages such as (https://fast.com) it was just showing endless circles..
Solution that worked for me: Created a user a/c. In that a/c, web pages are working fine!
Good luck!

Reset Edge browser Press Windows + X then select settings, Next, under the Apps and features section, search for Microsoft Edge. Now click on the Advanced options link to open the following window. first, select the Repair option if Edge is not working properly.

In my case MS Edge does load web pages in Win 10 Pro on my Dell XPS8700 mid tower system, but certain website do not load properly. Amazon.com does not show the TV show or movie watchlist properly. Menu items are listed down the left side of the page and movies are big boxes in the middle of the screen with lots of space causing need for lots of scrolling instead of horizontally in rows across the screen. I just updated to 1809 on my Dell Inspiron Laptop and before the update to 1809 Edge showed the web pages correctly and after the update the same issue of the Dell XPS8700 mid tower began. IVP6 is checked so that is not the problem. In addition some web pages load very slowly. Can anyone help or are we waiting for Microsoft to fix that problem?

A few days ago one night I scheduled new you update on version 1809 at 11am the next day..so I come home after school, hop on my computer and microsoft edge wont load up, applications take forever to open and once I click on a category in settings it wont load either...these things didnt work. Later that day while trying to restart it, (that never worked) I'll said it will update outside of active hours and I said " a new update already?" Hoping that it will fix the problem and it didnt. I tried shutting it down for a while didnt work, tried restarting multiple times never worked. Please help I don't want to reset my computer, I've done it 3 times already

Once you have configured your IPv6 settings you can easily verify your public IPv6 address including IP location online by typing http://whatismyip.live in the google search bar.
If your IPv6 is not detected by above method then your IPv6 is not configured properly.

I have done a ton of testing on this. The problem was affecting about 100 computers across four different businesses, and therefore four different active directories, and four different networks. First off I have to excoriate Microsoft for even making IPv6 a requirement on Edge because 100% of our ~89 customer networks cannot even use IPv6. Their ISP does not have IPv6 at all and cannot allocate addresses. I called Spectrum today. Not only do they not provide an IPv6 prefix (space) to a customer, but they won't even take it as a feature request. Nope.
So that means you cannot actually even obtain internet routable base for your IPv6 space to configure inside your network.
Then if you consider the fact that most perimeter security appliances won't NAT IPv6 to IPv4 or vice versa, then they will just dump any IPv6 traffic that is headed to the internet. I know this to be true as I tested it. Check this out even after you have an IPv6 address.
http://ipv6-test.com/ disable disabled disabled
So if your ISP won't give you an IPv6 space, and your equipment is going to dump IPv6 traffic anyway, then why how and when will it ever be used? I don't see any purpose or value for IPv6 on the inside of a LAN. We have NAT. I don't want all devices on the LAN to be directly inbound routable from the WAN without going through security inspection at a security appliance. So I see IPv6 where your endpoints have WAN addressable IP addresses as a security risk.
But you say that a private space could be used. https://simpledns.com/private-ipv6
Sure of course. But again, what is the point? The traffic will never leave the network to get to the internet.
So Microsoft loves to turn themselves into a swear word by claiming that IPv4 is deprecated as of 2011 and then forcing this change on us when it is technically impossible to even properly configure IPv6 for most networks.
I'm going to give you a set of commands that may or may not solve your problem if you are having it. First verify you don't have a GPO that is disabling IPv6. If you do, set the GPO to Enable all IPv6 components. Any other option will not work. Reboot computer and verify that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters" /v DisabledComponents is zero.
Then do this:
Get-NetAdapterBinding -ComponentID ms_tcpip6
Look for anything that has a value other than true. If so, do this:
Enable-NetAdapterBinding -Name "*" -ComponentID ms_tcpip6
Reboot.
If you are still not getting IPv6 autoconfiguration address, then do this:
netsh int ip reset
then restartnetsh winsock reset
then restartAnd if you are still not getting an IPv6 address, now you need to get the big hammer out and literally configure IPv6 on the router interface for the VLAN, and configure DHCP server to provide DHCP addresses to clients. Use the link above to come up with a private IPv6 space.Thanks Microsoft for wasting four days of my life. - George KostoulasCopper ContributorSame here,
Enabled IPv6 and Edge works again plus MS store - Raúl Lorenzo BoullosaCopper Contributor
I had the same problem, even Microsoft Store or NetFlix didn´t work. I turn on IPv6 on my Realtek ethernet device and everything go on again.
I guess enable ipv6 don´t cause me others troubles i had in the past.
