Troubleshooting Microsoft Edge

Article Number:01072

This section describes how to troubleshoot problems such as product screens not being displayed or screen layouts being corrupted.

This section explains the scenario using the following case as an example.

  • OS: Windows 10 Pro
  • Web browser: Microsoft Edge 89.0.774.45

STEP1: Display the Product Screen in the InPrivate Window.

Cookies, cached information, or extensions added to your Web browser may affect displaying interfaces or product behavior. By using the InPrivate window in your Web browser, you can disable these features and check whether they cause the problem.

For details on the InPrivate window, refer to the Help provided by Microsoft.

  1. Start your Microsoft Edge.
  2. Click 'Settings and more' icon , and then click New InPrivate window.
    A new window will be displayed. When "InPrivate" appears at the top right of the screen, the InPrivate mode is enabled.
  3. Display the product screen to check whether or not the problem occurs.
    If the problem does not occur, proceed to STEP 2 because cookies, cached information, or extensions added to your Web browser may affect the product behavior.
    Close the window to exit InPrivate mode.

STEP 2: Disable Extensions.

Perform this step when the problem does not occur in STEP1.
Disable extensions one by one and check whether the trouble is solved.
