My Microsoft keeps closing, when I try to reload the page this error message comes up, i have tried to repair the edge in my apps.

    Hello,

    The error message seems to be pointing towards an extension for edge, please check the puzzle piece button on Microsoft edge and disable any extensions you have.

    User's image

    Then turn them back on one by one. If the error comes back remove the extension causing the issue.

    Hope this helps,

    JC
