You can try disable graphics acceleration.
Open Microsoft Edge, click the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner, and select Settings. Go to System and performance > System, find the Use graphics acceleration when available toggle, and switch it off
I turned off the Graphics hardware acceleration, no change. I do not have this problem when using another web browser.

Try disabling the Graphics hardware acceleration setting in edge, then restart Edge and check if that resolves the problem.
2
If not, test another web browser to check if the same problem occurs in that browser.
If the same problem occurs in another browser, try this fix.
Click your Start Button, type cmd and choose Command Prompt
Run this command and hit Enter:
ipconfig /flushdns
Run this command and hit Enter:
ipconfig /registerdns
Run this command and hit Enter:

Wait for your PC to automatically restart after 5 minutes, do not manually restart your PC.

If this problem does not occur in another web browser.
Open the Settings App, then go to Apps - Installed apps, scroll down to find Edge, select it, then choose Modify - Repair.
Then check if that resolves the problem.
2
If not, reinstall Edge on top of the existing Edge installation using the installer available on this link.
The Modify and uninstall choice is grayed out.
If that option is greyed out, the best option is to use the installer on the link above to reinstall the Edge browser.
