    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    save-as overwrite

    Excel Office 365 - Saving file over network share overwriting with a different filename

    User is working over a Network Share and when she saves, sometimes it will overwrite with a different filename that's already on the share. User can cancel the overwrite but sometimes it's too quick to cancel and you lose the overwritten files name.

    Example:

    Test.xlsx (hit save)

    Test1.xlsx (in that same folder)

    When Test.xlsx is saving, it changes the filename to Test1.xlsx and overwrites the file with the info from Test.xlsx. Has happened quite a few times but not consistently with every save.
