If this is the only issue on that machine then I'd first start off resetting the Edge browser before I go '
hunting' down issues with Windows or other software. Also, remember that resetting Edge is not like resetting other browsers as Edge is part of the Windows operating system, and cannot be uninstalled.
Open the “Settings” menu by clicking the three horizontal dots in the upper right corner of the Edge window and choose “Settings.”
Under Clear browsing data, click “Choose what to clear” and then click “Show more.” There are a lot of data types here. Select them all and click “Clear.” Restart your PC and re-open Edge for a clean slate.
If the above method has zero effect then I would reset Microsoft Edge Through PowerShell.
If the above methods don’t work for you, you may have to go nuclear. This PowerShell command will delete and re-register the core data of Microsoft Edge. Make sure you perform a full backup and/or create a system restore point before continuing in case anything goes wrong. This is very important, and do not continue before creating a backup!
First, navigate to the following folder and clear everything inside it:
C:\Users\%username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
Replace %username with your own username.
Next, right-click on the Start menu and choose “Windows PowerShell (Admin)”. Copy and paste the following code inside PowerShell and press Enter:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
If the process was completed successfully, you should see a message like this:
https://v45.co.uk/edge-reset-powershell.pngWhen you open Microsoft Edge next time, you will see that it has been reset to default. If you encounter any error, type the following command to get the first few logged events:
Get-Appxlog | Out-GridView
Note the error code in the log and proceed with the following link from MSDN knowledgebase -
