Constant Browser Refreshing When Using Hotmail

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

As a paying customer, I use the Avast browser.

When I log in to my Hotmail account, it is almost impossible to use for the first 10-15 minutes because the Avast browser constantly refreshes every 10-15 seconds.

When it refreshes, it says in the bottom left hand corner: “waiting for edge.skype.com.” It eventually stops but it is so frustrating that I should not have to wait 10-15 everyday just to use my email! Understand #1 that I do not have Microsoft Edge installed on my computer. Understand #2 that I do not use Skype via Hotmail.

Does anyone know of a fix for this - other than NOT using the Avast browser?

Apparently, you aren’t alone and, it is not Avast.
