Windows 10: Delete Microsoft Edge. Re-install Google.com

I prefer to go to Google.com directly - not via Microsoft Edge! How can I change that?

Notifications for Google Calendar through edge not showing

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving this issue. I understand that you are not receiving notifications for Google Calendar.



As you have already selected the options to display notifications, I would suggest you try clearing the browser cache, cookies, and check if that makes a difference. Refer the steps mentioned in the article

Delete cookies.



If that doesn’t work, I would suggest you to try repairing Microsoft Edge and see if that helps. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + I, to open
   Settings.
   
2. Click on Apps, and select
   Apps & features on the left pane.
   
3. Scroll down, look for Microsoft Edge, and click on it.
   
4. Click on Advanced Options.
   
5. Now, click on Repair.
   

If repairing Microsoft Edge doesn’t help, you can try resetting Microsoft Edge. However, before resetting Microsoft Edge, we would suggest you to take a backup of the Favorites. Follow the steps to take a backup:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
   
2. Click on the Ellipsis (…) on the top right corner.
   
3. Under General, click on Import or export.
   
4. Now, click on Export to file and select the location where you want to export the file.
   
5. To Import the favorites, follow the steps from
   1 to 3, click on Import from file and select the location.
   

After exporting the favorites, follow the same steps as mentioned for repairing Microsoft Edge, just click on
Reset instead of Repair.



Note: Repairing the browser won't affect anything, but resetting will remove your history, cookies, and any settings you might have changed.




Let us know the results.
