While using my edge browser sometimes it suddenly starts lagging and gets slow and a few times it freezes and I cannot even close the app and closing my device also won't fix this but after sometime time it gets resolved. This has happened few time and mostly it happens when switching from private tab to normal tab. Can you say what is the issue with the browser and how I can fix it.

    Disable all extensions and then re-enable them one by one to identify if any specific extension is causing the issue.

Toggle off Use hardware acceleration when available.

    4.Repair Microsoft Edge
