Mandatory update for new Chromium-based Edge

Last month, Microsoft started rolling out a Windows 10 update to install the new Chromium-based Edge.

The company had released the updated browser months ago, but users had to install it manually, which means it was not running at the capacity Microsoft would have wanted to.

So, it started pushing the new version through the Windows update that automatically downloaded/installed on the users' systems.

Now, it is creating problems

As the company started forcing the update, dubbed KB4559309, some users of Windows 10 began experiencing performance-related problems.

They found the boot speed of their system crashed following the update, making it extremely slow to open up.

And, when it did load up, the OS was significantly throttled and had noticeable delays and lags while using apps, switching between them, and using other functions.
