    Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10

    Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10.

    Somehow my system got infected with some malware. Due to which Edge was opening random ads in new tabs with any click on any site. After some efforts I cleaned the malware, but the malware seem to have broken edge; some edge files also got cleaned out.

    Now while opening opening blue screen comes fine, just a quick flash of Edge window comes but without showing anything or allowing to do anything closes itself.

    I couldn't uninstall and re-install as Edge doesn't show in programs list.

    I also tried following steps as suggested by the Microsoft Virtual support agent, No issues came up with that and nothing got resolved.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
    • In the Administrator Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    when on or restart microsoft edge open

    Hi,

    Just to clarify, you would like to stop Microsoft Edge from automatically opening the link you stated, is that right?

    If so, I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Open Microsoft Edge.

    2. Click the "more"(three dots) option.

    3. Click Settings > Open Microsoft edge with/

    4. From the drop down list, choose a different option other than "specific page".

    Hope this helps.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help.

    microsoft edge icon missing from task bar

    Hi Robert,

    We suggest that you open Microsoft Edge via Run just to verify if Microsoft Edge is installed in the PC. If it comes up, pin it to the taskbar.

    To open Microsoft Edge via Run, see steps below:

    • Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R.
    • In the text field, type microsoft-edge: and then click
      OK      .

    Let us know how it goes.
