Edge Won't Close? Stop the Madness! Here's Why (and How to Fix It)

Is Microsoft Edge staging a rebellion and refusing to close? You're not alone! This frustrating issue can stem from a few common culprits. First, check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). Is 'msedge.exe' still running, even after you've closed all windows? A rogue extension or background process could be the culprit. Try disabling extensions one by one to identify the troublemaker.

Another possibility is a corrupted Edge profile. Creating a new profile can often resolve stubborn glitches. Go to Edge settings, 'Profiles,' and then 'Add profile.' If problems persist, a more drastic step is resetting Edge to its default settings. Find this option under 'Settings,' then 'Reset settings.' Remember this will erase your browsing data, so back up anything important first! Finally, ensure Edge is up-to-date. Outdated versions can harbor bugs. Navigate to 'Settings,' then 'About Microsoft Edge' to check for updates. With a little troubleshooting, you can regain control and finally close Edge when *you* want to!
