Windows 10: Windows 10 Update version 1803 issue with Edge browser

Hi,


I have my own application which opens pdf files in Edge browser in Windows 10. While opening pdf file it creates a temporary folder (with random name) in %temp% directory. In that temporary directory my application keeps the copy of pdf file and renames it to random name (with no extension). Example as below,

Pdf file: abc.pdf

Random name directory: '%temp%\RandomDir'

Copy of abc.pdf with name change: '%temp%\RandomDir\RandomFile'

So '%temp%\RandomDir\RandomFile' is actual copy of abc.pdf without extension.


This random name directory and the file gets deleted once actual pdf (abc.pdf) gets loaded and visible into Edge browser. This was working smoothly till Windows 10 version 1703.


However after updating Windows 10 to version 1803, the temporary directory and file into it are not getting deleted. Even after closing Edge browser the directory and the file remains present in %temp%. ('%temp%\RandomDir\RandomFile'). I debugged my application and found that after update 1803, I am getting 'Access is denied' error when my application tries to delete RandomFile.


I would like to know is this something related to Windows 10 update 1803?

Has something changed with Edge browser in update 1803 which is not allowing to delete the directory and the file present in %temp%?

Is there any workaround to resolve this issue. (I mean random directory and file should be deleted once the actual pdf gets opened in Edge browser)



With Regards,

Amar Patil

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
