Hello Micah, I have the same issue going on, and although Microsoft Support insisted that it was my memory or even a browser extension, I’ve already looked through those and have gone as far as testing my RAM in multiple ways. I’ve been dealing with this for about two weeks now, and I’ve reinstalled NVIDIA drivers, reset my Windows operating system, and even rolled back to Windows 10, but I still get this issue.
The culprit I’ve found appears to be the Windows updates that Microsoft is pushing. They seem to be faulty, and I honestly am not sure where to go from this point. If anyone else can chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Aaron, were you able to get a fix to this yet? I ve also been having this issue for a long time, and I don't believe in Microsoft support team to help anymore.

Every canned "fix" says to remove the extension, or update the browser, or blah blah blah blah blah. If that's the case, then why is it happening with every browser, Microsoft? It's not my ISP. They physically checked. It's Windows. FIX IT.

Hi Micah,
Typically this is due to an Extension.
Let us try Resetting Edge Settings to defaults using the steps below, in the hope it helps.
Click on the three-dot menu button on the right.
Click on Settings.
Click on Reset settings.
Click on Restore settings to their default values.
Click on Reset.
2nd step: Sometimes extensions on the web browser might cause unintended behaviour. Please click the three dots menu again, and choose extensions.
Click Manage extensions.
Disable all of them for testing purposes, and let me know if it works.
