Security News > 2022 > June > Microsoft: Recent Windows updates caused Edge freeze issues
Microsoft says it addressed a known issue that was causing all Microsoft Edge tabs running IE mode to stop responding if one of the opened sites displayed a modal dialog box after issuing a window.
The IE mode problems affect devices running Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2022 after installing the KB5014019, KB5014023, and KB5014021 optional preview cumulative updates.
After deploying these Windows updates, "IE mode tabs in Microsoft Edge might stop responding when a site displays a modal dialog box," Microsoft explained.
Microsoft has fixed this issue using Known Issue Rollback, a Windows capability designed to help revert buggy Windows non-security fixes delivered via Windows Update.
To resolve this IE mode tab issue in Microsoft Edge on affected enterprise-managed devices, admins have to install and configure a specific KIR Group Policy associated with the systems' Windows version.
Last week, Microsoft also resolved known Wi-Fi hotspot issues and Microsoft 365 sign-in issues triggered by the June 2022 Windows updates.
