If you are having trouble with your Microsoft Edge browser, resetting it completely can quickly fix the problem. This guide will show you how to do this in two simple steps, regardless of the version of Windows you are using.
Step 1: Resetting the Browser Settings
Open your Microsoft Edge browser and click on the three dots located on the top right-hand corner of the screen. From the list of options that appear, select “Settings”. On the left-hand menu options, click on “Reset settings”, and then click on “Restore settings to their default values”. After this, click on “Reset” again.
Step 2: Completely Resetting Microsoft Edge
Close everything and press the “Windows” and “R” keys. Type “%localappdata%” (without the quotes) and press “OK”. This will open a folder. Click anywhere on the top and then click on “M” to go to “Microsoft”. Double-click on “Microsoft” and then click on “Edge”. Press “Shift” and the “Delete” key to permanently delete this folder. Click on “Yes” and skip if any file is unable to go.
Once the deletion process is completed, you can now open the Microsoft Edge browser to see that it has been completely reset. You can now make any changes you want, and if there are any updates available, you will receive a pop-up message to update.
In conclusion, resetting Microsoft Edge can help fix any problems you may be experiencing with your browser. Follow the simple steps outlined above, and you will have a clean and updated browser in no time.
