The most common reason for this is a problem between Edge’s hardware acceleration feature and your graphics drivers. Other possible reasons include a damaged user profile, broken startup settings, or problems caused by experimental features (known as flags).
Troubleshooting
The first thing you should do is clear the cache and cookies from your browser. Most of the time, this simple step can fix the problem. Clear your cache and then proceed with the other methods as needed.
1. Disable Extensions
Disabling your extensions will help you identify the problem. If turning off all extensions fixes the issue, then one of the extensions might be causing it. To find out which one is the culprit, enable the extensions one by one and check if the problem returns. Check if the issue is resolved.
2. Disable Hardware Acceleration
Disabling Hardware Acceleration can also resolve the blank page problem. Follow these steps to turn it off. Since Microsoft Edge doesn’t have this setting available directly in the browser, you need to change it through Windows settings.
3. Reset Microsoft Edge
If that doesn’t work, try the steps below: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” –Verbose}
4. Rename Files
Now restart Microsoft Edge. This should fix the blank page problem.
5. Delete or Rename the Default Folder
Open Edge and it should now work fine. Microsoft Edge will automatically create a new default folder for you.
6. Scan the Computer
If a virus is causing the problem, there are two things you should do. First, if you don’t already have one, download a good antivirus program and scan your computer for viruses. You can also use Malwarebytes to check your computer for any infections. If that doesn’t solve your problem, try performing a System Restore, especially if the issue only started recently. Go here and follow the step-by-step guide to restore your system.
