For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Try using System File Checker to scan Windows for corrupt files:
Press the Windows key and X together.
Depending upon your version of Windows, you'll see either 'Command Prompt (Admin)' or 'Windows PowerShell (Admin)' listed. Click on it.
A 'User Account Control' box will appear, asking if you wish to proceed. Click 'Yes'.
In the window which then opens, type 'SFC /scannow'. (Note that there's a space in there!). Hit 'Enter'.
The System File Checker will search for corrupt files and attempt to fix them. When it's done so, close the window and restart your computer.

If the problem is across all browsers, then it's clearly with Windows, rather than with Edge. That's why I suggested running the System File Checker.
However, if want to clear Edge's cache anyway . . .
