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.

Hotkeys not working properly while chrome is running.

Hi
RishabhPatel9,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below information:

1. Are you using a USB keyboard or Wireless keyboard?
2. Are you aware of making any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:

Method 1: Install Package and Driver.

I would suggest you to go through the article from the manufacturer which talks about
‘The hot keys on Notebook are not functioning properly’.Follow
the step mentioned for Mute/adjust volume.

Method 2: Disable the extensions.

1. Launch Google Chrome and go to settings.
2. Select Tools> go to Extensions.
   
3. Click the ‘Keyboard Shortcuts’ link at the bottom of the page.
   
4. Search for Google Play Music section.
5. Change the option from ‘In chrome’ to ‘Global’ and vice versa.
   

Method 3: Enable Google Chrome.

1. Press ‘Shift+Ctrl+Esc” at the same time on your keyboard, this will open the task manager.
   
2. Go to startup Tab, check for Google chrome.
3. If it is disabled, select the google chrome option and click on
   Enable.

If none of the methods worked, I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall Google chrome, or Try connecting a different keyboard and check if it works.

Hope it helps.
