Windows 10: Cannot install Instagram/ Facebook/ TikTok on Microsoft Store after reinstall Microsoft Edge

After uninstall the MS egde business version 91.0.864.59 and reinstall with the lastest MS for Windows stable version, I can't install PWAs on MS store such as Instagram/ Facebook/ Tiktok again and get this error 0x80073CF3. So there's must be something wrong with those PWAs remain files after I uninstalled Edge and now the store can't override them and let me install. I tried reset, clear cache the store but nothing works, please help!!!

Microsoft Edge/Facebook Videos

Hi,



Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to clear the cache and cookies in Microsoft Edge as below and check if it helps.

• Open Microsoft Edge browser.
• Click on “more actions” icon.
• Then go to “settings”.
• Under the tab “clear browsing data” select “browsing history”, “cookies and saved website data” and “cached data files”.
• Then click on “clear” button.

Also I suggest you to try accessing Facebook and videos with different browsers and check if the issue persists or not.

Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

 

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
