This attracted a lot of users, thanks to the smoother experience while being light on system resources. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the new Microsoft Edge is quite fast in general, you may face issues wherein it feels slow, laggy, or takes too much time to load everything. Thankfully, you can speed up Edge with some simple troubleshooting steps. Read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_1_Enable_Sleeping_Tabs\"><\/span>Method 1: Enable Sleeping Tabs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When enabled, Sleeping Tabs automatically puts your inactive tabs to sleep after a set duration. In the meanwhile, it prioritizes the tabs you&#8217;re actively working on. You can resume your work anytime by clicking on the inactive tabs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This helps save a lot of CPU and RAM resources and increases the performance of the Edge Browser. If your Edge browser feels slow, enable sleeping tabs using the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>To enable Sleeping tabs, Go to the <strong>Settings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Settings-1-2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Settings-1-2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Settings-1-2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Settings-1-2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Settings-1-2-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Settings-1-2.png 1745w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong> Go to <strong>System and Performance<\/strong> and then<strong> Optimize Performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sleep-1-1-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"Enable sleeping Tabs to Fix Slow Microsoft Edge\" class=\"wp-image-5186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sleep-1-1-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sleep-1-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sleep-1-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Sleep-1-1.jpeg 1522w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3: <\/strong>Here, you will see the options to enable Sleeping tabs, add a timer to put tabs to sleep, and block any specific website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note: <\/strong>You cannot set a custom timer if the <strong>Efficiency mode<\/strong> is turned on.

This helps in saving power but also results in slower browser performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re facing slow browser issues in Edge, you should turn off Efficiency mode.

It will keep certain processes run in the background with minimal resources to launch Edge quickly.

The Strict mode will block all trackers. Hence, some sites may not work properly with this setting enabled and even break down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we&#8217;ll recommend using the Balanced option. It blocks trackers on the sites you visit but also allows a certain amount of ads them to perform properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> and then to <strong>Privacy, search, and services<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Go to <strong>Tracking Prevention<\/strong> and select the<strong> Balanced<\/strong> option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-1-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-1-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-1-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-1.jpeg 1552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> On the same page, scroll down to <strong>Security<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-2-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"Speed up Browsing on Edge\" class=\"wp-image-5191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-2-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-2-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-2-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-2-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/balanced-2.jpeg 1552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Here, enable <strong>Enhance your security<\/strong> <strong>on the web <\/strong>and select <strong>Balanced<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Method_5_Repair_Microsoft_Edge_on_Windows\"><\/span>Method 5:  Repair Microsoft Edge on Windows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is not uncommon for a browser to run into issues due to updates, unsafe websites, or other factors.
