Soory if this isnt the appropriate place to post this, but i saw that I had an extension called "burst search". I cannot remove this. I assume it is some type of malware, is there a fix?

Cannot install Edge extension Translator

Hi,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with installing Edge extension translator. I will certainly help you with the issue.

I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:

• Open Powershell as admin.
• Type: "Get-AppxPackage *pocket* | Remove-AppxPackage" without the quotes this will unsintall pocket. You can try skipping step 3.
  
• Type: "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}" without the quotes.
  
  this will reinstall all stock apps including the Windows Store
• Now you should be able to install Pocket through the Windows Store.

Note: Replace *pocket* in step 2 with *extensionname* (example: pocket extension).

Hope this information helps.



Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help.

Cannot install extensions in Edge

For my part, step 2 fixed it, but this isn't the first time I've had issues installing apps. Is there a known underlying cause as to why this happens in the first place? Is the cause build-dependent or version-dependent? Or is it app-specific?
