Glad it's working. I've seen similar errors when cached browser data has gotten messed up in some way, which is why I suggested trying the private/incognito option, as this ignores most of the stored browser cache.

You might find that a regular Edge window also works, in which you wouldn't need to use incognito mode. It may also suggest that the issue is likely something that the cortana interface is introducing.

I really don't know enough about cortana to suggest why it might be having problems - hopefully, someone else might be able to leap in on that one.
