    Accidentally Installed New Edge on my work PC. Now Old Edge is Gone but I need my Set Tabs...


    My work PC was still using legacy Edge, which had a nice Set Tabs Aside feature I relied on heavily. Through my own fault, I went to our organization's software download center (an application that allows us end-users to download pre-approved software without bugging the IT department) and decided to download the new Edge just to check it out.

    Now legacy Edge seems to be gone from my computer. I thought I heard before that it is technically still buried in the OS somewhere, as parts of Windows 10 rely on EdgeHTML. Is that true? Is there a way for me to somehow still find and open up legacy Edge or, at the very least, get a list of all the tabs I had set aside? Everything I've read on it says I'd need to uninstall the new Edge to get the old Edge back, but, ironically, while my workplace software center lets me install the new Edge, it doesn't let me uninstall it.

  2. Edge new tab

    Hi Niranjan,

    Sorry if this is a dumb question but I did not see a direct answer in your response to Pat's question:

    "How can I set new tab in Edge to google.co.uk".



    Please rephrase your answer so an old computer dinosaur could understand it.



    I believe Pat was asking how to have each “new tab” open to a specific web page; in his case to google.co.uk.



    When I open a new tab:

    • I DON'T want ‘"suggested content” which is like a MSN page with weather, news, and featured apps from Windows Store.’
    • I DON'T want a “Blank page”
    • I Do want the Google search page: google.com
    Admittedly, I’m new to Windows 10 and Windows Edge but it appears to me that Microsoft is making it very difficult (or impossible) to use non-Microsoft search engines
    or default to non-Microsoft web pages.



    Hope you can dispel my concerns.



    Thanks, Jack

  3. Edge new tab

    Hi Pat,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    Especially for Edge, its New tab page also shows “suggested content” which is like a MSN page with weather, news, and featured apps from Windows Store.

    In Microsoft Edge, you have an option not to show the New tab page when you open a new tab. Just head to the ellipsis icon at the top right then select Settings. In Settings panel, you’ll see the option “Open new tab with.” In the drop-down menu, select
    “Blank page” to disable New tab page.

    How to disable suggested content in New tab page

    Suggested content has your information at a glance: weather, national news, local news, and even featured apps from the Store. Sometimes you don’t want to see this cluster and wish to hide it. To do that, you need to open Settings via the ellipsis icon.
    Then select “Top sites” in the drop-down menu of “Open new tab with.”

    Hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reply in case you face any other issues with Windows in future.

    Disable set aside tabs in Edge

    The Creator's update added a new feature to Edge called "setting aside tabs". While it sounds nice, I really don't need it and it is actually creating problems for me. While clicking on the first tab in the list, I often accidentally click on the set aside button and all tabs have to be reloaded again.

    Is there some switch to disable this new feature?
