  2. Favorites Bar on Egde

    Thanks for the get back. This is a brand new laptop, yesterday was my first exposure to win 10 and Edge. I've cleared the browser data and restarted still the same thing , not only are the favorites gone from the favorites bar they are no longer in my favorites
    period unless they are hidden somewhere.

    Regards, Gary

  3. Losing Favorites In Edge?

    I have a completed updated brand new computer and I just lost my favorites in Microsoft Edge.

    My guess is this is the last time I lose my favorites because it doesn't seem to happen in Google Chrome.

    Cases - consider the very quiet Nanoxia Deep Silence range
    PSU - EVGA offer a 10 year warranty. I found XFX very unreliable.
    Motherboards /Drives / SSDs / Memory- all your choices OK
    Monitors - Viewsonic professional monitors offer a zero pixel defect warranty. I have the VP2770 which is very good.

    See Tom's Hardware and Anandtech sites for guidance.

    Case, bigger the better, right now a professional Cheftec Dragon, next one will be same but full server tower, weighs a ton but it's worth every pound. Enough space to walk thru it and no vibrations.
    CPU coolers, liquid, single but thick radiator with push-pull fans. Right now CM Nepton140XL, TDP 300W and next bigger on 280 has only 5W higher TDP.
    CPU, mostly AMD for better performance/price ratio and don't actually need much better. Soon to switch to Ryzen 6/12 if it deserves the hype.
    MB, mostly Gigabyte because they are most sturdy built and can take most abuse. Asus may be next choice though, they tend to have better BIOS and OC is easier. MSI and Acer I had bad experience with, Also don't need any fancy MBs with name that suggest gaming or other, mostly not fitting attributes.
    RAM, mostly Kingston, usually most compatible with AMD systems.
    GPU, no special preferences but AMD are what I'm most familiar with.
    PSU, good make with no stability issues, Chieftec was my favorite for long time now.

    Case: LianLi (aluminium based and well designed)
    PSU: Seasonic (silent and reliable, using one for 10 years already)
    Motherboard: ASUS (AMD chipset, quality and attention to details)
    CPU: AMD (you can not beat performance/price ratio)
    GPU: AMD based, I choose the type based on the silence
    Hard Drives: Seagate (cheap)
    Memory: A-Data, Kingston (but it does not matter, I look up for spec: low CL/high speed)
    Fans: Noctua (like there is anything else silent)
    Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech (pure ergonomics)
    Headphones: Sennheiser (digital wireless)

    Well there are only those 2 left, so not much to choose from. *Smile
