Microsoft EDGE

Hi,

There are several reasons why Microsoft Edge acts differently after the update. We suggest clearing the browsing history of the app as an initial troubleshooting step and check if the issue will be resolved.

To do the procedure, follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo.
• Press the Edge icon.
• On the upper right, click on the three dots.
• Go to Settings.
• Under Clear browsing data, click Choose what to clear.
• Press Clear

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

The shortcut is not listed in the start menu folders...

And I'm surprised you see Edge at all if you've done as suggested..
