    Allowing "SETTINGS" in EDGE ( currently grayed out ) can not add Favorites


    I Think the problem is the result of "DEMO RULES" If I'm right about this I probably need a few other questions answered too.


    I purchased an HP laptop this summer labeled " close out ". Turns out it was also " an administrative DEMO " and had a user name which is still listed as a user.


    That said, MS EDGE does not allow me to set Favorites. In the … drop down window " Settings " is GRAYED out so it can not be accessed.


    The retailer hires a third party to set up and prepare the DEMO's for resale by uninstalling the "RETAIL DEMO" and "ADMINISTRATIVE DEMO" which may the root of all problems on this laptop. Is there a way of activating "Settings" or do the other problems need to be resolved before the EDGE Browser issue?


    PS If there is a link for uninstalling the Retail Demo/Administrator USERS I'd appreciate a hook-up with that forum/question.


    Thanks

    :)

    Favorites How do I find my favorites in Edge

    While browsing another thread, I found the answer to my previous question. Including it here in case others are searching for the location where favorites are stored.

    Kindly, follow the below steps to navigate the Microsoft EDGE browser’s favorites folder location.

    • Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to the following path:
    (Press Windows + E keys on the keyboard to open File Explorer).

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default


    Note: username represent the user account name which you have currently signed in to the Windows 10.

    • Here you will be able to locate the EDGE browser’s Favorites folder location.
    • Check whether you are able to locate the favorites which you have created in EDGE browser.
    Note: To back up your favorites in Edge browser, simply copy-paste this Favorites folder to a safe location. To restore favorites, copy and paste your Favorites folder back in the location suggested.

  4. Allowing "SETTINGS" in EDGE ( currently grayed out ) can not add Favorites

    How to enable favorites toolbar in Edge settings

    I imported my favorites okay, but they all went into the hub favorites.

    I have tried the suggestions, but all of favorites remain inside the Hub Favorites and not on the Home Page Favorites star which remains empty.

    The drag and drop doesn't seem to work.

    Any other suggestions?
