  2. IE 11 Cannot Import from Edge

    Hi Nicholas,

    As a workaround, we suggest you to export favorites from Microsoft Edge into a .html file and afterwards, import the .html file to Internet Explorer 11.

    Here are the steps:

    • Open Microsoft Edge.
    • Click on the three horizontal dots on the upper-right corner of the Microsoft Edge window, and then click on
      Settings.
    • Under Favorites, click on the View favorites settings.
    • Under Import or export a file, click on Export to file.
    • Select the folder where you want to save the .html file of your Microsoft Edge favorites, and then
      Save.

    Once you have the .html file of your Microsoft Edge favorites, follow the steps below on how to import them to Internet Explorer 11.

    • Open Internet Explorer 11.
    • On the menu bar, click on File, and then click on Import and export.
    • In the Import/Export Settings window, select Import from a file, and then click on
      Next.
    • In the next window, click on the checkbox for Favorites, and then click
      Next.
    • Browse and open the .html file you want to import, and then click Next.
    • Select Favorites to import to, and then click Import.
    • Once done, click on Finish.

    Hope this helps.

  3. Microsoft Edge bottom half cut off on Windows 10

    We can try the following ways:

    1. I suggest we clear the browsing history and check if the issue persist.

    Please follow the steps:

    Open Microsoft Edge.

    Click on “...” (… symbol) on the top right corner of the browser.

    Select Settings from the drop down menu.

    Click on Choose what to clear under Clear browsing data.

    Check the Cookies and saved website data (and any other data you want to clear) and click on Clear button.

    1. Enable Inprivate Browing feature of Edge.

    We can refer to Enable Private Browsing in IE 11 and Microsoft Edge

    1. Try to reset Windows Edge. Go to Settings->App->Apps and features->Windows Edge->Advanced options->Reset.

    Type "about:flags".

    Click "Enter".

    Check "Use Windows Compatibility List".

    Restart the computer.
