5 Ways to Fix “This Page Is Having a Problem” Error in Microsoft Edge

Quick Tips

• In most cases, simply restarting Edge or disabling extensions should help fix this error.
• You can also try clearing browsing data or resetting Edge settings to resolve the issue.
• You may have to modify a few registry files if nothing else works.

Fix 1: Disable Extensions

An extension might be interfering with the browser processes and preventing Edge from loading websites. To check for this possibility, you will need to disable all the browser extensions, and then try to load websites again.

In Edge, type edge://extensions in the URL bar at the top and hit Enter. Then, use the toggles to disable all the extensions.

If websites load fine after this, a corrupted or glitched browser extension is most likely to blame. To determine which extension is causing the error, enable your extensions one at a time.

Fix 2: Clear Browsing Data

Clearing cache and cookies in Edge can help fix a variety of browser errors, including this one. Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete to open the Clear browsing data panel. Select All time in the Time range menu and tick the Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files checkboxes. Then, click the Clear now button.

Fix 3: Reset Microsoft Edge

If clearing existing browsing data does not help, you can try resetting Edge to its default settings. Doing so will remove all your extensions, startup configurations, and other temporary data.

In Edge, type edge://settings/reset in the URL bar and hit Enter. Click Restore settings to their default values and hit Reset to confirm.

Fix 4: Modify Registry Files to Enable Code Integrity

If Edge still throws the “This page is having a problem” error while loading websites, you can use the following registry method to fix it.

Step 1: Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog. Type in regedit and press Enter.

Step 2: Paste the following path in the address bar at the top and press Enter to navigate to the Microsoft key.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft

Step 3: Right-click on the Microsoft key, go to New, and select Key from the sub-menu. Name it Edge.

Step 4: Right-click on the Edge key, go to New and select DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RendererCodeIntegrityEnabled.

Step 5: Double-click the newly created DWORD and change its value data to 0. Then, click OK.

Restart your PC after completing the above steps, and then try using Microsoft Edge.

Fix 5: Change the IPv6 Value in Registry Editor

Another reason Edge may display the “This page is having a problem” error is if you have disabled IPv6 via the Registry Editor. In that case, you’ll need to change the value for the DisabledComponents key to 0 (zero) by following the steps below.

Step 1: Open the Registry Editor using the search menu.

Step 2: Paste the following path in the address bar at the top and press Enter to navigate to the following key.

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip6\Parameters

Step 3: Double-click the DisabledComponents entry on your right and change its value data to 0. Then, click OK.

Restart your PC, and Edge should start loading your websites as before.
