    How do you update a Microsoft Edge extension


    I have an extension in my Microsoft Edge browser which has an update available in the Microsoft store, but there is no button/link that allows me to update it. The only option is to remove it. How does one apply updates to Edge Add-ons?

    EDIT: I got it updated, but it is not obvious what you have to do. I went to check for updates to Edge itself. I then had to restart Edge and when it restarted, the extension then listed as updated.

    :)

    I too add my name to the list of people who find Edge useless without extensions.
    Huge step backward folks.

  4. How do you update a Microsoft Edge extension

    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.
