[Ham-Computers] FW: MS Edge Problem Resolved

[Herb Gerhardt]

Just for info, I resolved my Edge problem following several YouTube videos.
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.

Let me try this again.   Herb

 

Additional info:  I tried my old laptop using IE and it works fine, so my
problem is in my new laptop set up, not my carrier.

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?
