    Edge displays blank screen & can't delete clear browsing data


    When I open Edge it opens to a blank start page & usually below I see weather time etc & customize & now I cant see anything. I went to Microsoft site & did everything it says. I also noticed browser slow also & not displaying many things on sites. I did a Internet Explorer reset also but that Browser works fine. I am using Google Chrome now & no issues but can't seem to get Edge working right. Also in Edge if I go to settings i cant clear browsing data.

    This Below form Microsoft Site:

    Hello,

    If issue persist, I suggest you to try method 2.

    Didn't work says no issues ..



    Method 2: Reset the Microsoft Edge


    I would suggest you to Reset the Microsoft Edge and see if it helps.
    Note: Resetting the Microsoft edge will remove your bookmarks and History.
    Follow the instruction provided below and check.
    a. Navigate to the following location:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe b. Delete everything in this folder.
    c. Now press Windows key and type Windows Powershell in search box.
    d. Right click on Windows Powershell and select Run as administrator.
    e. Copy and paste the following command.

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" –Verbose}
    Disclaimer: The Reset Edge Settings feature might reset security settings or privacy settings that you added to the list of Trusted Sites. The Reset Edge Settings feature might also reset parental control settings. We recommend that you note these sites before you use the Reset Edge Settings feature. Resetting Edge isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after reset.

    To back up favorites in the edge follow the steps below:

    1. Open File Explorer, copy and paste the folder location below in the address bar, and press Enter.
    %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default
    2. Copy the Favorites folder to a place where you like to save your backup.

    Did that also & still same no dice! *Mad

  2. Suspected malware. How to disable Microsoft Edge in windows 10?

    Also, clear Edge browsing history:

    Open Edge--click on line of dots at upper right side of screen--settings--Clear browsing data--choose what to clear--I'd select all options.

    You can't delete Edge but maybe you could hide it somewhere after cleaning it out.

  3. Cannot open Google

    See if clearing cached data and cookies (in both IE & Edge) resolves this.

    Clear Browsing Data in Microsoft Edge in Windows 10

    IE: Internet Options> General tab> Browsing History> Delete> uncheck "Preserve Favorites website data" then delete Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. No reason, yet, to delete history, passwords, etc.
