Click unsubscribe in email and now MS Edge will not open back up [Clos

Hello, I hope you can help.

Tonight, I clicked "unsubscribe" from an email that I thought was a marketing piece.  It took me to a browser screen where it said unsubscribe and when I clicked that button Microsoft edge crashed and will not open back up.  it will flicker but that's it.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks Nicole

Satchfan,  I'm so grateful for your help – I work 8:30-1:00ish during the week so it's very hard for me to get back to you right away.  I will run all the required steps you mention above and post the results.  thanks a lot

As long as you post within 3 days or let me know that you are delayed, that's not a problem.
