  1. Is there a way to have Microsoft Edge always open in compatibility mode for Windows 8?


    I just updated to Windows 10 1909 and with it I got the new version of Edge, with the new icon. But whenever I open it I just get the “SOURCE: INVALID_IMAGE_HASH” error on every webpage. Nothing is accessible. Not even settings. It’s because I have some other software that’s out of date, but I’m unable to upgrade at the moment. All that aside, Edge does work in compatibility mode with Windows 8, but I need to set that every time I open it. Is there a way to permanently set it to open in that mode?

    Move from Windows 8.1 to 8

    I've used this before and it does work.

    Also, if it doesn't work correctly in 8.1 it will more than likely be broken in Windows 8 as well.
    It's possible that the driver is conflicting with something else you have installed.

  3. Microsoft Edge bottom half cut off on Windows 10

    We can try the following ways:

    1. I suggest we clear the browsing history and check if the issue persist.

    Please follow the steps:

    Open Microsoft Edge.

    Click on “...” (… symbol) on the top right corner of the browser.

    Select Settings from the drop down menu.

    Click on Choose what to clear under Clear browsing data.

    Check the Cookies and saved website data (and any other data you want to clear) and click on Clear button.

    1. Enable Inprivate Browing feature of Edge.

    We can refer to Enable Private Browsing in IE 11 and Microsoft Edge

    1. Try to reset Windows Edge. Go to Settings->App->Apps and features->Windows Edge->Advanced options->Reset.

    1. Use Windows Compatibility List.

    Open "Windows Edge".

    Type "about:flags".

    Click "Enter".

    Check "Use Windows Compatibility List".

    Restart the computer.

    1. Try to update Windows updates.
    2. Logon the laptop with another computer account, if we still have this problem, try reinstalling the operating system.

    Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10

    Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10.

    Somehow my system got infected with some malware. Due to which Edge was opening random ads in new tabs with any click on any site. After some efforts I cleaned the malware, but the malware seem to have broken edge; some edge files also got cleaned out.

    Now while opening opening blue screen comes fine, just a quick flash of Edge window comes but without showing anything or allowing to do anything closes itself.

    I couldn't uninstall and re-install as Edge doesn't show in programs list.

    I also tried following steps as suggested by the Microsoft Virtual support agent, No issues came up with that and nothing got resolved.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
    • In the Administrator Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
