Almost every Google-owned website stops working on Edge

Follow these steps in order, testing Google sites after each step:

1. Close other tabs, apps, and extensions
   • Edge may be running out of memory and failing to load complex sites like Google services.
   • Close all tabs except one Google site, close other running apps, pause downloads, and uninstall unneeded extensions. Then reload the Google page.
2. Make sure Microsoft Edge is up to date
   • In Edge, select Settings and more (… ) > Settings > About Microsoft Edge.
   • Install any available update and restart Edge, then test Google sites again.
3. Clear cached data for all time
   • In Edge, select Settings and more (… ) > History > Open history page.
   • Select Delete browsing data.
   • Set Time range to All time.
   • Select at least Browsing history and Cached images and files (optionally all boxes), then select Clear now.
   • Restart Edge and try Google, YouTube, Gmail, etc. again.
4. Check security software and malware
   • If using third‑party security software (for example, Norton or McAfee), open it and make sure it is fully updated. Out‑of‑date security software can interfere with HTTPS sites.
   • Run a malware scan:
     • On Windows 10/11, use Windows Security as described in Stay protected with Windows Security.
   • After cleaning or confirming no threats, test Google sites again.
5. Restart the PC and network equipment
   • Restart Windows.
   • If the issue persists only on this PC but not others on the same network, restart the modem and router, then test again in Edge.
6. Repair Microsoft Edge
   • Close Edge for all user accounts on the PC.
   • Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Installed apps.
   • Find Microsoft Edge, select it, then choose Modify.
   • Approve the UAC prompt (Yes), ensure the device is online, then select Repair.
   • After repair completes, open Edge and test Google services again.

If the problem continues after these steps and only affects Google‑owned sites in Edge on this device, use Settings and more (… ) > Help and feedback > Send feedback in Edge to report the issue, including that other browsers and devices on the same network work correctly.

Hi, good day!

Have you tried the AI suggested solutions?

First isolate the cause (important)

Please try this quick check in Edge:

Open an InPrivate window (Ctrl + Shift + N)

If Google sites work there, it's likely an extension or cache issue

Temporarily Disable or Uninstall Edge extensions

Open Edge > Click 3 dots > Extensions

Please check if one of your extensions is causing the issue

If the issue still persists, you may need to consider performing a Reset of Edge Chromium.

Open Edge then click 3 dots > Settings

Select Reset Settings > Restore settings to their default values

Click Reset

Restart your computer
