  2. Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    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.

    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.

  3. microsoft edge icon missing from task bar

    Hi Robert,

    We suggest that you open Microsoft Edge via Run just to verify if Microsoft Edge is installed in the PC. If it comes up, pin it to the taskbar.

    To open Microsoft Edge via Run, see steps below:

    • Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R.
    • In the text field, type microsoft-edge: and then click
      OK
      .

    Let us know how it goes.

  4. Why are so many copies of Edge running?

    Edge favourites disappear and crash.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Community, I understand your concern and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

    Before we proceed, I would like to know if the same issue arises when you log in Google and Youtube through Internet Explorer?



    I would suggest that you try the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Add Favorites.

    I would suggest that you save all you favorites in Internet Explorer. Once done proceed to step2.

    Step 2: Reset Edge.

    • Navigate to the location:
    C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

    • Delete everything in this folder.
    • Type Windows Powershell in search box.
    • Right click on Windows Powershell and select
      Run as administrator.
    • Copy and paste the following command.
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" –Verbose}

    • Once done import your favorites from Internet Explorer.

    Hope this information helps.
