Microsoft has fixed a nasty bug that was causing the Microsoft Edge browser to crash while watching YouTube videos or reading comments.

At the time, Microsoft acknowledged the issue in numerous Reddit discussions and asked users to try Microsoft Edge Canary to test a fix that they were working on.

A Microsoft Edge engineer posted to a Reddit thread that their fix has helped many people, but not everyone, and that they are still working on a complete fix.

On Friday, Microsoft released Microsoft Edge 90.0.818.62 to the Stable branch and fixed the YouTube problem.

To update and install the latest Microsoft Edge browser, you can click on the Edge menu, select Help and Feedback, and then About Microsoft Edge.

At this screen, Microsoft Edge will automatically check for the new update and install it.
