1] Clear the cookies and cache in Microsoft Edge

Before proceeding with more complicated solutions, you can consider clearing cache and cookies on Microsoft Edge. The reason is that if cache files and cookies are corrupt, then the associated website might not load properly. If you clear these cache and cookies, then the website will rebuild them the next time you open it.

2] Allow third-party cookies on Microsoft Edge

Once you have cleared the cookies, the next solution will be to allow third-party cookies. It solves 2 problems. First is that it will allow the website to load smoothly and second is that many websites including Salesforce require us to allow cookies, otherwise they will not load properly. The procedure to allow third-party cookies in Microsoft Edge is as follows:

Open Microsoft Edge.
Click on the three dots at the top-right corner. This will open a menu.
From this menu, select Settings.
In the Settings window, go to the Cookies and site permissions tab on the list on the left-hand side.
In the right pane, click on Manage and delete cookies and site data.
Turn OFF the switch for Block third-party cookies.
Now, restart the Microsoft Edge browser and try to load the Salesforce website.

3] Isolate the cause with extensions

Some extensions can cause problems while trying to open certain websites. One way to isolate extensions as a cause is to open the Salesforce website in the InPrivate mode. The procedure to do so is as follows:

Open Microsoft Edge.
Click on the three dots at the top-right corner. It will open a menu.
Select New InPrivate window.
Now open the Salesforce website in the InPrivate window.

If it works, the issue is probably with the extensions.

4] Resolve the case with problematic extensions

In case you have figured that an extension is problematic, then the procedure to resolve it is as follows:

Click on the three dots at the top-right corner and select Extensions.
Now click on Manage extensions.

You will notice extensions with a switch associated with them. Please use the switches to deactivate extensions one by one, thus using hit and trial to find the problematic extension.

5] Update Microsoft Edge

If the browser is obsolete, then such problems are common. Thus, you can update Microsoft Edge to the latest version. The procedure is as follows:

Click on the three dots at the top-right corner.
Scroll down and select Help & feedback > About Microsoft Edge.

Microsoft Edge will update by itself.
