Microsoft Edge is a clean and lightweight web browser with features such as Cortana integration, a reading mode, and so on. Many users are experiencing problems while using Microsoft Edge. Users have reported that Edge does not start at all, crashes a lot, works slowly, and sometimes crashes right away. Although these issues appear minor, they can be enraging if you use Microsoft Edge as your primary web browser. All of these problems are easily resolved by simply reinstalling the browser. The process of reinstalling Microsoft Edge is a little tricky and must be done with care. However, you have the possibility to switch your browser to benefit from smoother navigation and fast search results. Quick Tip: If you don’t plan on going through the reinstall process again any time soon, we recommend trying Opera, a browser that has the same features as Edge but also comes with some bonus features. The Opera browser offers integration with messaging and social media apps, multiple workspaces or boards to save your favorite websites, improved privacy with VPN support, and a built-in ad blocker. Note: During the reinstallation process, there is a chance that you will lose all of your favorites as well as your browsing history, so we recommend that you export favorites to another browser to keep them safe and secure. Here’s a quick guide on how to reinstall Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.
