Configure Browser Settings using PowerShell
Set the development mode disabled using Windows PowerShell utility in Windows 10. Make sure the browser isn’t open while executing the command given below.
- Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Delete Internet History
The process of deleting your Internet history releases system resources, removes corrupted content and the record of recently visited websites & pages. Choose to delete your Internet websites history from Hub > History.
Empty the Cache
Internet cache is where copies of most frequently visited websites are stored, in an attempt to make your browsing experience faster and smoother. Microsoft Edge is bizarrely crashing because the cache is corrupted.
Go to More Actions from the browser settings, and then choose to delete browsing history, cookies and saved website data, cached data and files, download history, form data and passwords.
Restore Default Configurations
After opening up Internet Properties dialog using inetcpl.cpl command, restore the advanced settings from Advanced tab.
Regularly Update Windows
Windows 10 itself performs periodic updates to obtain new patches. Get new updates from the Microsoft Download Center or using Windows Update utility. (Settings > Update & Security)
