Problem description: New Dell notebook, clean install of Windows 10. Everything else is perfectly snappy (including other browsers such as Chrome and Firefox), but Edge simply chugs. The entire browser hangs constantly; it is impossible to scroll smoothly on most sites, and pages take 30 seconds or more to load.

Attempted fixes: Clearing the cache. All drivers are up to date.

Recent changes: None

Core i3 4010u @ 1.7 ghz
4gb RAM
Intel HD 4400 IGP

I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yep

Just to confirm, you do have the latest Intel HD Graphics drivers from the Intel website?

Yup, as of like a week ago. I'll check for another update today but I don't think that is the issue.

I also realized that Edge is the only broswer on my pc that isn't on adblock. Could that be the problem? I know that ads can slow a browser down but it shouldn't make it completely unusable like this.

Nope that shouldn't be related at all. Qquick note: you should be using uBlock Origin as your ad blocking extension in all browsers you use, the commercial solution like the actual "Ad Block" and ABP are no longer recommended.
