Microsoft Edge: Did you know about Repair/Reset?

[Corrine 2,617]

There have been so many changes and additions to Windows 10, I can't keep track of them all. I ran into an issue with Microsoft Edge opening the startup tabs but not loading the pages and being completely unresponsive. After a quick search, I discovered Repair/Reset was added with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) and it is easy to use.

• Click Start (Windows icon) > the Settings icon and select Apps > Apps and Features.
  
• Scroll down to Microsoft Edge & click it.
  
• Select Advanced options.
  
• Try Repair first and if that doesn't work, select Reset.

 

In my case, Repair didn't work but Reset did. The only thing I had to do after the repair was to re-activate the extensions.

i would like to use Edge more on my pc, but it is just too slow - and there are still website incompatibility problems.

 

MSFT really needs to rip Edge out the OS and make it stand alone.

 

ps: I do use it as default pdf viewer. VERY nice at doing that.
