how to close MS Edge using a keyborad?

oded1st · Feb 25, 2025

Hello. i play some games using a keyboard (some games are better skill wise using a keyboard like war thinder). during the game i go to MS Edge to check my mail and news.

to close edge i need to turn the controller on and this is a nag.

i dont want edge running in the backroung (cause i can switch between apps but this is using more ram and effect my game).

so is there a way to shut down and close MS Edge with a keyboard?

thank you

:)

Hi Oded1st, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Oded1st, if you are using a keyboard from an Xbox console to use Microsoft Edge, you can close the browser with the key combination Alt + F4, the browser will close and you will be returned to the Xbox home dashboard.

Can you create a new tab in Microsoft Edge and get to Facebook after you see the issue?
