Possible your video card does not support this? in Edge I looked
Open the 3 dots far top right then open settings scroll down to below then open settings> then view advanced
I dont see anyway to set this in Edge, also I dont use edge prefer Chrome
So in windows 10 there is also Internet explorer, type into search
open W10 internet explorer and go to tools>advanced at the top untick use software rendering instead of GPU

I don't know then, I don't see one either.
What are you viewing when this happens, could be one of those windows "I dont know so will just throw anything message?
Possible you're doing too much>I just run a lot of Edge browser sessions"
Have you cleaned out your browser history?
Run a disc cleanup? cleanup thumbnails temp internet files?
Maybe your video card is overloading?
"What are you viewing when this happens, could be one of those windows "I dont know so will just throw anything message?
"

I see this when I launch my edge with 41 tabs., and I do ctrl+N to launch another EDGE, which start another 41 tabs, and I do it again, which make my PC has 3 x Edge browser and each has  41 tabs.

then look at the CPU, all 100%, then my PC very slow.

I wait until Edge crash ! my PC has 64GB of RAM.

It doesn't matter how much Edge browsers I launched, right ?I have 64GB of RAM for it to use.
Well there it is then, this amount Edge browsers overloads the video card regardless how much ram you have,
It has to be related to hardware acceleration.
When you force the call function  ctrl+N to open Edge with a repeat of 41 tabs ( instant open)  the system temp internet files overloads.
The video card cannot display that much at once ?
Take into account with every web page is there also adds on the pages?Animations? Video?
When your system crashes have a  look in your event errors, control panel
How many cores do you have with your cpu?
How many watts Power supply Unit.
The ram, CPU and video card all draw power from the PSU.
It has limits and once your cpu reaches 100% the same applies with ram on the video card basically it is system wide overload.
You could bench test your system, or look in task manager / performance/ if it is Edge using all the power or a combination of other things.
What is your system specs? IS it a brand name like Del?

Specifically I think the new session could do it, although apparently there have been issues with this ,
How to launch multiple instances of microsoft edge browser and collect their Process Ids

I dont know if this would work, but it's just confirming my thoughts, a computer has limits.

"When you force the call function  ctrl+N to open Edge with a repeat of 41 tabs ( instant open)  the system temp internet files overloads."

that easy ?

this is the way I work with chrome !

"The video card cannot display that much at once ?

I just got a GTX 970.

some page has it and some not.

"How many cores do you have with your cpu? "

12 cores.

"What is your system specs? IS it a brand name like Del?
"
no. I don't use this kind of brand, I use supermicro !
You dont give much away hey.
Remember when you ever went into a computer shop for repairs you took your PC with you they LOOKED at it.
I can't do that so I depend any details you provide otherwise it is an educated guess all the time.
Did you upgrade to windows 10 or is this bundled with W10?
Any hardware changed?
With windows 10 we are tinkering with a whole new app. creation.
If you have Intel Board could be related to the onboard graphics.  Have you updated them?
Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 and Windows 7*/8.1* [15.33]

Is your Nvidea GTX 970 OC?

Mine is nvidea GTX 680 OC,
https://www.technic3d.com/review/grafikkarten/1431-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-680-super-overclock/1.htm
 the reason I ask is that I had issues with the Intel onboard after losing a PSU and then the conflict happened when installed the new PSU.
My system was off for a few weeks that changed the order of video cards and started using the Intel first.
You could disable the onboard in the bios.
What do you see in the device manager under display? 2 adapters?
"Did you upgrade to windows 10 or is this bundled with W10?"

upgrade to Windows 10.

"Any hardware changed?"

no.

"If you have Intel Board could be related to the onboard graphics.  Have you updated them?

no. don't use onboard.

but one thing, open Edge and get into trouble like this doesn't make sense, no matter what hardware we are using, right ?

"marrowyung I rolled back to windows 7 prof x64 W10 has too many bugs for my software and games.
I built this system and dont want it messed up by windows 10."

for me, Windows 10 is ok .

Windows 7 is good, I agree, Windows 10 offer much more.

I use the upgrade path
I just tried that again, it still the same problem.

I give up, just wondering why running 3 x edge browser can make the Windows 10 slow like this.
close enough but can't solve it.
Thankyou marrowyung
One last idea, prior to opening Edge with all the tabs,  open the task manager and put it on performance, watch what happens
Windows 10 has an excellent Task Manager I have to say, I found it very informative,
see what processes are hogging the system

How to use Task Manager to optimize your Windows 10 experience

Understanding Processes
quote from the area I want to you try:
Clicking on the resource column header will sort what programs or services are utilizing your hardware the most.
You can see in the screenshot here that Microsoft Edge is using a fairly significant amount of resources, likely because I have a ton of tabs open.

my version is Edge user all CPU.

but this screenshot just one Edge with 41 tabes.

Wow it works in Edge, that's using a lot of your cpu cores,  but not a lot of resources, what happens when you use more?
Seeing as this is about finding out overload.
I know it spreads across all cores but not all cores actually  increase speed.
Doubling The Cores Doesn’t Double The Speed
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/what-does-dual-core-and-quad-core-mean-makeuseof-explains/
 try disabling a couple of the cores.
Thanks that's saved me from looking
Ah I see you have Norton installed, over the years that was notorious for restricting the user.
What happens if you disabled Norton? temporarily.
"what happens when you use more?

if I launch 2 more Edge, each with 41 tabs, the Edge will hangs and finally the UI of Windows 10 will crash !

" try disabling a couple of the cores."

think about that, running edge browser shouldn't need adjustment, right? why ? just a browser !

after turn off Norton, yeah, much better, tks. but just slow but not UI crash !

all CPU still 100% and near 30GB RAM token by 4 x Edge, each with 41 tabs.

do you know how can I do the same thing action in my Chrome ?all Edge 41 tabs copy from Chrome and Ctrl+N only give me 1 x new chrome tab.

I want to stress test chrome under the same situtation.

no. single tab only!

"Check how much Disc space is set to use for temporary internet files/ browsing history. Once that has filled it could also cause crash. Increase it. Delete browsing history"

your screen is IE only, not Edge, right? my setting is automate growth.
Yes IE.
Apparently, Microsoft Edge is using the same cache folder as Internet Explorer,
You did not respond to my question about seeing an onboard video and the nvidia in device manager Display
If you do>
It is also recommended that you install any pending updates on the pc and check.
Windows Update may have updated drivers available that may be relevant to your current issue.
Many times, updated drivers are listed in the "Optional" section of Windows Update.
So if you dont have the intel listed my apologies
"You did not respond to my question about seeing an onboard video and the nvidia in device manager Display"

you mean do I have latest Nvidia driver! yes I do, the update notisification is turned on. I will always install that.

but running Edge should not be doing so much change to make it works, right?
My line of thinking
Possibly windows is referring to the onboard video card, by that I mean most computers have a video chip on the motherboard that is not in use as we have a pci video card.
For example in my device manager in display I have my onboard intel video chip and below Nvidia, I was wondering if the error is relating to this onboard video chip?
User generated imageWhat is HW graphic what does the HW stand for?
Hardware graphics resource?
It means the graphical rendering is done on dedicated hardware (your GPU / graphics card) rather than your CPU.
Looking at your original comment>edge browser blocked from access HW graphic resource in Windows 10, HW graphic resource?
"Possibly windows is referring to the onboard video card, by that I mean most computers have a video chip on the motherboard that is not in use as we have a pci video card."

"For example in my device manager in display I have my onboard intel video chip and below Nvidia, I was wondering if the error is relating to this onboard video chip?"


I only have a GTX970 !

"HW graphic resource?"

I know, that's why I come and ask about EDGE setting. I don't see one either.
