Well an update on my issues and maybe might help others if they stumble across this. It turned out to be an issue between Edge and another piece of software we use called Impero. We are an educational establishment so this may also be affecting other users using Impero. We added an exception in the Impero server settings and Edge stopped crashing. This is a link the the fix we found and I hope this helps others who maybe experiencing the same situation.

Once we did this we had no further issues. (Woo Hoo!!)

KCCSunshine Can you tell me exactly what to do as your link doesn't seem to work anymore.  We are having this problem in our school and it's driving me nuts. 

 

Thank you

    Apologies for chiming in but while it's still fresh in my mind...

    In Impero Server, go to Tools > Injection Exclusions and add msedge.exe.

    Be aware that with this applied, you can no longer block Edge as an application with an Impero policy, you'll need to block it as a window caption instead.

    Thats annoying they have changed the support page. Luckly I saved the content in my OneNote. If you don't block Edge for exams etc you can just follow the first part of this.

     

    Upgrading to the latest Windows Spring Creators edition (1803>) causes performance issues with the Microsoft Edge browser.

     

    To fix this issue please follow the instructions below:

     

    Open the Impero Server

    1. Select the Tools tab and click on Injection Exclusions

    2. Under Application specify the following browser_broker.exe

    3. Under Description specify the following Microsoft Edge

    4. Click on Add Exclusion.

       

    5. Repeat point 3, 4 and 5 again adding RuntimeBroker.exe and Microsoft Edge

    6. You are required to restart the Impero Client services

     Hope this helps you out Andy 🙂
