    Edge STOP or X button does not seem to do anything.


    When a problem site is loading and the spinning wheel is doing its thing and the page refuses to load I find that the STOP or X button in Edge does nothing. You click it and the spinning wheel just continues. This is on 1809 (clean installed).

    This is for illustration, TF is quick to load, I was quicker grabbing an image to illustrate *Wink

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    Cannot set home button icon Microsoft Edge


    Thanks for reply
    but your suggestion did not work.When i turn off home button in Edge and re-open Edge and turn on home button ...the home icon appears but fades away when Edge is re-opened.

    I even uninstalled Edge and re-installed Edge following a fellow members suggestion tutorial but this step did not work either.

    Very strange

    Cannot set home button icon Microsoft Edge


    The workaround is not a solution as I stated. It merely create an button on the Favorite Bar!

    Please follow davidhk's suggestion. You may have to run SFC /scannow three times in order to correct the file corruption problem!

    Hi,

    I suggest you to try resetting Edge and check if it helps to resolve the issue.
    Refer the steps below to reset Edge.

    Steps:-

    • First of all launch Microsoft Edge Browser.
    • After that click on “More action” option which is visible at top right side of the browser and you will see “Settings” option.
    • Under “Settings” scroll down and you will see a button “Choose what to clear” under “Clear browsing data” option.
    • Once you click on this option you will see list of feature like
    • Browsing History
    • Cookies and saved website data
    • Cached data and file
    • Download history
    • Form data
    • Password.


    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Edge does not open, or it opens x 3.: Hi everyone. Today, Edge decided to not open when I click on its icon, or, maybe, open 3 windows at the time. I don't know what's happening. Since last WU, didn't have any problem. No virus (apparently) on my computer. I've run sfc /scannow, and everything is alright....
