From: Herb Gerhardt [mailto:hgerhardt at wavecable.com] Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2017 7:56 AM To: 'Ham-Computers' Subject: MS Edge Problem Looking for some help in resolving a Win10 Microsoft Edge web browser problem that cropped up today. I was doing lots of troubleshooting today on trying to get my SARTrack APRS program to work properly on RF. I finally got that problem resolved by uninstalling the program and reinstalling it from scratch. During my frantic troubleshooting and uninstalling SARTrack, I also uninstalled several other programs that I had never used and had no need for. Well once I uninstalled those programs and the next time I started up my Microsoft Edge browser, it just sits there spinning its wheels. It can no longer find any web page. After several minutes, it comes up with that the page cannot be found. Since that prevents me from doing any searches on the internet for trying to resolve this problem, I am stuck. I cannot do any Microsoft Win10 updates either now. I previously had Win7 Pro OS on this laptop and MS through their sleigh tactics "upgraded" me to Win10 Pro. I kept clicking the "x" box on the upper right to close their annoying popup windows only to learn after it upgraded, that they changed the rules and that clicking on the "x" authorized for them to "upgrade" my OS. Anyone have any ideas how to get it going again?

And I have no idea what the answers to your original questions are. I use Firefox and my wife doesn't use Edge although it is on her machine.

If not try Chrome or Firefox. Old MS IE should still be installed on your system so you could download either. Don't get me wrong I think Edge is a nice upgrade to IE but I never liked IE so I have always used Firefox and now I use it and Chrome. You could also have a network problem.

They were a bit above me but I was grasping for straws and long and behold, it solved the problem. For info it is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oL2oqS_SjE It has a write up below the video with the instructions. Basically you have to delete the entire Edge program and then reload it from scratch and restart your computer. It worked so I am back in business.
