Windows 10: Edge browser seems to have disappeared after updating.

My computer updated and now Edge is gone. I input various info into the search box, but nothing happens. I tried using the Desktop icon, still nothing comes up anywhere. Chrome is working fine, but I use both. What to do?



FYI, I did not get directed to windows support community via Edge on this screenshot. I just used this as an example. I used Chrome to get to this site.

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."

Microsoft Edge browser quit working after updating software yesterday.

Yesterday the Windows 10 software updated. After the update, my Microsoft Edge browser no longer works. It shows up in my bottom ribbon but clicking on the icon results in only a brief appearance. Attempting to type or tap any option causes Edge to disappear.

I am now using my Google browser which is mysteriously unaffected. I have tried to follow instructions offered by Microsoft's online virtual assistant but noticed that Edge is not listed under my apps so I can't follow instructions.

Any suggestions? Thanks
