  2. I cannot browse internet on EDGE browser

    Hi Joseph,

    We apologize for the delay in response.

    I understand that you are not able to browse Internet on EDGE browser.

    Before proceeding, we need to know whether you use any proxy connection on your Windows 10 computer.

    Kindly follow the below methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you clear the Clear browsing data option
    of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    • Click on the More actions (…) icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    • Select Settings and click on
      Choose what to clear.
    • Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files
      and click on Clear.

    Note: You may try to check if the issue persist in the private browsing. Open the EDGE browser,
    Click on the More actions (…) button on top right corner of EDGE and click on
    New InPrivate Window to browse the internet in private Window.

    If the issue still persist, then follow the below method.

    Method 2:

    System file check is a utility built into the Operating System that will check for system file corruption. The sfc /scannow command (System File Check) scans the integrity of all protected operating system files and replaces incorrect,
    corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.

    I suggest you to refer the below link on how to perform System File Checker and check if it helps.

    System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot



    Reference: I suggest you to refer to the below thread and check if it helps.

    Edge not working at all

    Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your response.

    If you are still facing the same issue, I suggest you to follow the methods provided below and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to clear the cache and cookies from Microsoft Edge and check. Follow the steps provided below:


    • Open Microsoft Edge.

    • Go to Settings.

    • Under Clear browsing data, click on Choose what to clear.

    • Select the options and click on Clear button.


    I suggest you to reset Internet Explorer on your computer and check. Resetting Internet Explorer shall effect the behavior of Microsoft Edge browser.
