Prevent YouTube From Crashing in Microsoft Edge
On Reddit, a Microsoft community manager commented that the company has pushed an update to fix the YouTube issues in Edge. This fix first went live in Edge’s Canary channel, where it fixed the issue for a lot of users but not for everyone.
The community manager said:
Shortly after that, Microsoft released a fix in the stable channel. This allowed everyone to apply this fix in their browser and get rid of the annoying YouTube issue.
How to Fix the YouTube Crash and Freeze Issues in Edge
To prevent YouTube from crashing or freezing up in Microsoft Edge, get the latest Edge update and install it on your computer. This update includes the latest patch for the YouTube issue, and once this is installed, all your YouTube issues will be gone.
Getting this patch basically means updating Edge on your computer. If you aren’t sure how to do this, the following should help you out:
Open Microsoft Edge on your computer. On the Edge window, click the three-dots menu at the top-right corner and select Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge. Edge will state looking for new browser updates. If the updates are available, they’ll be installed. Relaunch the browser and your YouTube issues should be sorted.
What if Edge Updates Are Not Available?
If Edge doesn’t show new updates and your YouTube issue persists, a temporary solution is to switch to Edge Canary, where the issue is already fixed. This version of the Edge browser works just like the regular version, except for some random test features here and there.
To get this version, head over to Edge’s Canary page and download the browser to your computer. Then, install it and you’re ready to continue watching your favorite YouTube videos.
Play YouTube Videos Without Issues in Microsoft Edge
