Windows 10: Microsoft Edge keeps Auto-resetting on Restart in Windows 10

Some users are complaining that the settings on Microsoft Edge are resetting whenever they close and reopen the browser on Windows 10. They have to set and configure the browser again. Except for the data like favorites and saved logins synced through user accounts, the user has to configure everything. If you are facing the same issue with Microsoft Edge, this guide will help you fix it and use the browser without much trouble configuring everything again.



Edge keeps Auto-resetting on Restart


If Edge keeps auto-resetting when you reopen it, the following methods can help fix it:

1. Turn off running of background apps when Edge is closed
2. Repair Edge via Settings
3. Create New User Account

Let’s see the fixes in a detailed way.

1] Turn off running of background apps when Edge is closed


By default, on Microsoft Edge, there is an option enabled that enables apps to run in the background even when Edge is closed. Apps are extensions and some Edge functions that run in the background to give you a seamless experience while browsing. Turning it off might fix your problem of automatic reset of settings on Edge.

To do so, click on the three-dot menu on the toolbar and select Settings from the context options. On the Settings page, click on System from the left sidebar.



Now, you will see the System settings page on Edge. Disable Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed by toggling the button beside it.



Your problem might have been resolved as you have turned off the background apps on Edge. If not, try the following method.

2] Reinstall Edge via Settings


You can reinstall Microsoft Edge via Settings as follows:

1. Open Settings
2. Click Apps > Apps and features and search for Edge.
3. Press Modify.
4. This will reinstall Edge, and you will see a new icon placed on the desktop.

Alternatively, if you wish, you can download Edge and fresh-install it, like any other program.

3] Create New User Account


If you are still facing the issue, creating a new user account on your PC with administrative rights and using it on Edge is recommended.

After creating the new user account with administrative privileges, use it to sign in to Edge and turn on sync. Remove the old account from Edge. It would fix your problem.

This is how you can fix Edge automatic reset problems on Windows 10. If you have doubts or suggestions, do comment below in the comments section.

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
