    How to Turn On or Off Open Sites in Apps for Microsoft Edge in Windows 10


    Microsoft Edge is a new web browser that is available across the Windows 10 device family. It is designed for Windows 10 to be faster, safer, and compatible with the modern Web.

    Apps for websites is a feature that uses web-to-app linking to associate an app with a website.

    Apps for websites was first introduced in Windows 10 build 14342, but there were no apps available at the time that supported this.

    Starting with Windows 10 build 15007, clicking links to websites that support web-to-app linking will now open that page in the respective app. You can now also turn on or off open sites in apps for Microsoft Edge.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off the open sites in apps feature in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10.

    Thanks for the time, Parth. You explain how to show the most visited sites. This I know. I've asked how to sort them, , and you do not address my question.

  5. Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10

    Microsoft Edge doesn't open in Windows 10.

    Somehow my system got infected with some malware. Due to which Edge was opening random ads in new tabs with any click on any site. After some efforts I cleaned the malware, but the malware seem to have broken edge; some edge files also got cleaned out.

    Now while opening opening blue screen comes fine, just a quick flash of Edge window comes but without showing anything or allowing to do anything closes itself.

    I couldn't uninstall and re-install as Edge doesn't show in programs list.

    I also tried following steps as suggested by the Microsoft Virtual support agent, No issues came up with that and nothing got resolved.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click command prompt (Run as administrator).
    • In the Administrator Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press Enter key after each command:
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
      • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

  6. Cannot set home button icon Microsoft Edge


    Thanks for reply
    but your suggestion did not work.When i turn off home button in Edge and re-open Edge and turn on home button ...the home icon appears but fades away when Edge is re-opened.

    I even uninstalled Edge and re-installed Edge following a fellow members suggestion tutorial but this step did not work either.

    Very strange
