Windows 10: Pinning websites

For some reason I can no longer pin any websites. I go on to a website and pin it to the taskbar, nothing happens it just goes to edge. Why is this?

Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.

 

Pinned Websites of Edge are color inversed

Hello Marvin,

Thanks for your reply. Here is mine.

• Were there any recent changes on your device?

My device is a Surface Pro 4 that I possesses for about a month. I have not made any software change and let Windows Update manage all update, including Drivers.

• Since when have you been experiencing the issue?

About 2 weeks ago, when I started pin website on the Start Screen. It doesn't seem to be related to a specific point of time or an event.

• Were there any external devices connected to your computer when it happened?

For the first one, probably none. For the others, It could include the Surface Pen and the Type Cover, probably a Logitech MX Master (mouse) connected with Bluetooth, and also the
Sony MDR 10, a Bluetooth headset. This setup vary depending of my usages (tablette or computer).

• Are you getting any error messages when trying to perform certain actions? If so, what are these actions and what is the particular error message.

I am not getting any error messages. I go on the website I'm looking to add on the start screen with Edge, I clic on the 3-dot icon of the Edge toolbar, and I select "Pin this page on the Start Screen". I got a message "This application is trying to
pin a tile to the Start Screen, Do you want to pin this tile on the Start Screen ?, Yes, No". Then I press Yes and I get the website pinned. The website is not pinned if it is already on the Start Screen.

• Have you recently installed any software?
  

Aside from a few applications from the Windows Store, I recently installed Firefox and Visual Studio Code the last weekend. The issue was already there, and Edge is still my default browser. I have not changed the default.

• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Resize the tile, move in or out of a folder. Delete and recreate it.

Tonight, I will try this on my laptop and my desktop computers to see if the issue happens too. They are both on Windows 10 and the laptop could miss the very latest updates from Microsoft.

Kind Regards
