    Problems with Internet Explorer 11 and "Favorites"


    Just received a fairly new computer back from the shop where I had to have the SSHD reimaged with Windows10. The computer seems to have developed and issue with its "Favorites" file:


    1) You can not easily arrange the contents of the file.

    2) The "Favorites Bar" folder - the system keeps trying to make it the FIRST folder in the list of links and folders. You can move it up, you can move it down, within a couple seconds, it always returns to the top position.

    3) Moving certain folders up or down, is difficult. For example, I have a folder marked "Cars" that I want at the top, but it keeps being reset to the bottom position in the list of folders and links. (It behaves opposite to what the "Favorites Bar" folder does.


    I have Chrome on my desktop as well, which I use a great deal.


    My question is what would cause this behavior and how does it get fixed?


    As for Edge, I hate the interface. Yes, I understand that in time, Internet Explorer will go away and fade into oblivion. However "Switch to Edge," is not the solution to this issue.

    :)
