Even if you click the icon to launch Microsoft Edge, it may not launch, open, or be unusable.
Here, we’ll look at what to do if Microsoft Edge won’t launch, open, or be unusable.
Solution 1: End Microsoft Edge Process
If Microsoft Edge will no longer start, it is possible that a temporary problem has occurred in the process, causing it to stop responding.
Therefore, completely end the Microsoft Edge process and then check if it can be started normally.
You can end the Microsoft Edge process by following the steps below.
- Right-click the Windows mark and select Task Manager.
- Open the Processes tab and expand the app.
- Right-click Microsoft Edge and select End task.
If you can start it, the Microsoft Edge error may be temporary.
Solution 2: Restart your computer
If it’s a temporary system error, restarting your PC will usually fix it, so try restarting your PC.
Solution 3: Clear the Microsoft Edge cache
There are cases where Edge does not start properly due to a problem with the cache data.
Therefore, clearing the Edge cache may improve the situation.

Solution 4: Perform Windows Update
If the problem is not resolved even after closing the Microsoft Edge process or restarting the computer, perform a Windows Update.
- Left-click the Start button
- Left-click the “Settings” button
- Left-click “Update and Security” in the window that appears
- Left-click “Windows Update” on the left side of the window
- When the update information is displayed on the right side of the window, follow the instructions on the screen to perform the update
Solution 5: Reinstall Microsoft Edge
If none of the methods you tried solve the problem, try reinstalling Microsoft Edge.
Assuming that Microsoft Edge is corrupted, reinstalling it will fix the app corruption.
If you want to reinstall Microsoft Edge, follow the steps below to uninstall it.
- Left-click the Start button
- Left-click the “Settings” button
- Left-click “Apps” in the window that appears
- Left-click “Apps and Features” on the left side of the window
