How to fix Microsoft Edge not opening
Today I’m going to show you how to fix a common problem with Microsoft Edge: that is the browser not opening or not responding when you click on it. It’s a simple thing but it can be extremely frustrating when the browser won’t open. So, here’s how to fix it.
What to do:
- First, right-click the Windows logo on the Taskbar and select Settings.
- On the left panel click Apps. Then click Installed apps.
- Here you need to search for Edge, so go ahead and type in “Edge”.
- When Microsoft Edge appears, click the three dots to the right and select modify.
- A message will pop up. Just click Yes. This will start repairing your Edge browser. Then click Repair when prompted. The app will start downloading and then it’ll automatically install. Wait until the end for the process to finish.
- Your app should now be fixed.
