Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
Step 1:
Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

Step 2:
I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

1. Go to Settings.
2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
3. Select add someone else on this PC.
4. Enter a user name and hit next.
5. Click on Finish.
6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.

Step 3:
It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

 

Microsoft Message Legit???

If it were a legitimate message form Microsoft, they wouldn't have to block anything for your safety.

 

Error message saying Flow Will Now Shut Down

I have gone through the steps suggested. My driver is up to date . The Conexant driver list on the Microsoft website is 4 years out of date!! My driver date is 22/1/2019. I can't find anything that looks like a Conexant website and HP diagnostics says it
is all OK and up to date.

My solution to this issue is to try and suppress the notification as the message is meaningless - everything is working properly. I can't find this notification as it seems to be outside the Microsoft notification system annoyingly.

Again, poor software design is the issue and poor diagnostics. If you know how to suppress the notification I would be very grateful. I have switched off all notifications but this doesn't seem to work properly.
