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.

 

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.
