Windows 10: Edge Chromium Extensions - Installing

Hi,

We have a third party extension I need to install into Edge, it works in Chrome but for some reason having an issue installing and enabling it in Edge Chromium.

The CRX files in located in C:\Program Files (X86)\..\.. as we are not using the Google store etc..

Has anyone successfully got this working, I've tired via Registry and GPO.

Either I am dong something wrong, or it doesn't work

Cannot install extensions in Edge

Hi,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with installing Extension in Microsoft Edge. I will certainly help you with the issue.

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

• 
  Launch your Edge browser and click on the 3-dotted
  More link. You will see an Extensions item.
  
• 
  Click on Extensions to open the following panel. Here you will see a
  Get extensions from the Store link.
  
• 
  Currently, extensions like Amazon Assistant, Evernote Web Clipper, LastPass, Mouse Gestures, Office Online, OneNote Web Clipper, Page Analyzer, Pinterest Pin It Button, Reddit Enhancement
  Suite, Save to Pocket, Translate for Microsoft Edge, etc., are available for Edge.
  
• 
  Clicking on one of them will open the Windows Store page which offers this extension.
  
• 
  Click on the
  Free button to install it.
  
• 
  To enable the extension, click on
  Turn it on. If you do not want to enable it, click on Keep it off. Once you do this, you will see this entry in the list of extensions installed. Here you see only one as I have installed only one extension.
  
• 
  Once the Edge extension is enabled, you will see it added to your panel. Right-clicking on it will offer you two options:
  

• 
  Show next to address bar
  
• 
  Manage.
  
  
  

• 
  You can toggle the switch to On/Off position – for the Pin It button as well as for showing it next to the address bar.
  
• 
  You will also see buttons that show you more
  Options and one that lets you Uninstall the Edge extension.
  
• 
  Clicking on
  Options will show additional settings offered for that plugin in a new browser tab that will open automatically.
  
• 
  Clicking on
  Uninstall will uninstall the Edge extension.
  
• 
  The settings and options available for each extension, will of course differ.
  

Hope this information helps.



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

 

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.
