    Good news but was probably more about allowing Edge to access the catalogue than any of the third party browsers.

    Edge still tells me to use IE, but Firefox works.

    Edge works just fine on mine, maybe because I have IE "uninstalled".

    Hmm, tried it again and it worked. Maybe I had an obsolete link.

    Too bad they couldn't revamp the site and make it more searchable and useful. Give me the option to filter by product, date and classification.

    Totally agree with that comment OilerNut. Also at the moment MUC is in total disarray, a couple of months ago if you did a search for a particular driver version it would be found. Now you do a search and you get a whole page of drivers which have no relevance to what your search was for, if you're lucky the driver you were after may appear somewhere in the list.
    Very disappointing *Sad

    Nope. I can get to the page but if I try the search or help, I get the attachment below.

    Are you running the insider edition?

    Microsoft now allows other browsers to access the Update Catalog

    I am running the RTM Windows 10 Home build 14293.321 and I too got the 'Vintage Web Tech..' page with Edge. However, if you type about:flags into the address box you get access to the Developers Settings. Turn off 'Use Microsoft Compatability List' and it works, turn it on again and it stops working - go figure...

    My Firefox didn't work at first either. I tried clearing the cache and any Microsoft-related cookies but nothing worked. Now, after a restart of Windows my Firefox works too. Not sure what fixed it, but I'm not complaining *Smile
