Windows 10: Why forcing Edge on users puts many in danger--a different perspective.

I wrote this feedback to send to Microsoft, as this has been a concern of mine for a long time, and it affects me deeply. Despite the time I spent on it, the character limit on every mode of correspondence to Microsoft wouldn't allow me to share my thoughts where I was supposed to, in their entirety at least, and their removal of live chat meant I couldn't safely contact support to ask where else I could submit feedback.

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.

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.

 

Current active users that are friends

The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.

 

Microsoft EDGE

Hi,

There are several reasons why Microsoft Edge acts differently after the update. We suggest clearing the browsing history of the app as an initial troubleshooting step and check if the issue will be resolved.

To do the procedure, follow these steps:

• Click the Windows logo.
• Press the Edge icon.
• On the upper right, click on the three dots.
• Go to Settings.
• Under Clear browsing data, click Choose what to clear.
• Press Clear

Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
