Windows 10: Resisted Edge for years. Now that I try it I wonder if I wasn't right all along! smh

I am/was willing to finally give Edge a try. Now that I have, I am so frustrated with all the "garbage" I don't need and to find out how to turn it all off??? I think this is why I and a lot of folks haven't migrated. It's been Edge's MO to bug you to death. Now that I have acquiesced it's now giving me all this I don't want or need! I just want a clean start up and new tab. Don't need news, ads, tips, nothing. Just the basics of the browser. It's so frustrating. And what's worse I think some of the fixes have changed with the updates and all the helps online are still for old builds or versio

How to delete Suggested Sites in Win 10 Edge

Hi Annu,

Neither worked.

Proxy server for LAN wasn`t checked, and after I carried out Step 1 I couldn`t get Edge or IE11 to load. And none of my Bookmark bar links worked.After carrying out a reboot I got Edge back , and the links were working ,but of course my most used sites had
cleared.And I still couldn`t remove the Suggested Sites.

Although this Suggested Sites is annoying, because it never shows any suggested sites, and I can`t get rid of it, I think I`ll just leave "well enough alone!"

Regards,

David
