Media Player theme bugged
Noticed that the past couple of Dev builds have a broken media player where the theme is all black and it also looks like the layout is bugged, see screenshot below. I've also submitted feedback with a screen recording but wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this.
What is EdgeSafeHostingExtensionEnabled about?
Hello, with v145 the EdgeSafeHostingExtensionEnabled policy was introduced. The description says, "Microsoft Edge Safe Hosting component extension is installed automatically when users visit supported Microsoft services, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot app." Is this a regular browser extension? If so, what is the related Extension ID? How does this combine with other extension management policies? Or is it a browser component, which should show up under edge://components? What would be its name? What is the exact purpose of "Microsoft Edge Safe Hosting component" extension? Thanks for any hints. BR JoeMultiple Tabs Added to Incorrect Workspace
I have 4 workspaces, reserved for different projects. Several have pinned tabs that I frequently use. When I open the Edge icon on my taskbar, only the first workspace opens, and, without me requesting it, it has added about 20 tabs that I don't want, probably from another workspace. Also, Edge is not my default browser. How can I prevent these tabs from opening? JohnDesktop icons flicker for one second when closing Microsoft Edge
Hello, I would like to report a regression affecting Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. Starting with version 145.0.3800.70, and still present in the current stable version 145.0.3800.82, closing the Edge window causes the desktop icons to flicker for about one second, as if the desktop is being refreshed. This issue occurs only on Windows 10. On Windows 11, the same versions of Edge do not produce this behavior. The flicker happens consistently every time Edge is closed, and it does not occur with any other application.
Edge with Bing - "Microsoft Bing trending suggestions in the address bar"
I would like to remove the suggestions from the search bar however when this setting has been disabled, instead of completely removing the news suggestions it has shifted to the right, taking up half the space and the other half on the left is my previous searches. Anyone know how to completely remove any news trending suggestions and not simply have it appear despite being disabled ? If not, I'll just swap to google and block Bing for myself / other users. Thank you
Outlook suddenly cannot access Gmail
I suddenly started getting a message in Outlook saying "SIGN IN: Your account email address removed for privacy reasons needs attention, please sign in to use your account" It was followed by a button labeled "Sign in via browser". When I press that button, I'm taken to the following webpage: But when I press Continue I get the following error: You have denied Office access to Google - IMAP. Please grant Office access to Google - IMAP and try again. After a lengthy back-and-forth with ChatGPT, I ended up deleting my Gmail account in Outlook as well as my IMAP credentials in Windows 11, but it did not fix the problem. When I try to add back the account, I get all the same errors in all the same places. I found one post on the internet where a use claimed to have fixed this problem by changing the names of the IMAP & SMTP server in Outlook: In Outlook, add the account as IMAP manually: IMAP server: change imap.gmail.com to imap.googlemail.com Port: 993 SMTP server: change smtp.gmail.com to smtp . googlemail.com Port: 465 None of that helps.
Question: Windows Enterprise / EDU Version - End of Life (EOL) Notification
Hello Microsoft Community - Enterprise, i have a general question about the Windows Enterprise / EDU Version and the End of Life (EOL) notification . I have a general question about End of Life (EOL) and the notification process. Could someone please explain and tell me exactly how is the notification process for Windows EOL in the Enterprise/EDU version? My understanding is this: For the Windows Home version, the notification is given 30 days in advance, see below. But what about the Enterprise/EDU version? Is it 36 months in advance? For products and services governed by the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/policies/modern, unless otherwise noted, Microsoft's policy is to provide a minimum 30 days' notification when customers are required to take action in order to avoid significant degradation to the normal use of the product or service. I would appreciate your help.Edge rendering inside a container that cuts off pixels
Hello. In Microsoft Edge version 145.0.3800.58 (Official Build) (64-bit), web pages are displayed by default within a container with rounded corners and padding on all sides. This results in pixels being lost in height and width. It also means that CSS definitions with a min-width for common resolutions such as Full HD (1920px in width) or WQHD (2560px in width) do not apply. Many front-end frameworks rely on these pixel thresholds to dynamically adjust container sizes. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but as so often in the long, sad history of Microsoft web browsers, common web standards are once again being ignored. This time it's for a feature that no one really needs, but which once again causes extra work for many web developers. Ever since I started working in web development, back when the dreadful Microsoft Internet Explorer was still widely used, it has always been extremely labour-intensive to adjust websites for Microsoft browsers. This has caused a great deal of frustration over the decades, and there seems to be no end in sight. Integrating the Chromium engine into Edge was a promising first step. But perhaps Microsoft could also start respecting web standards outside of the engine? I'm sure that hundreds of millions of web developers would be grateful. I suppose hope dies last 😉When using touch mode, clicking the "extension" button on the toolbar causes Edge to crash
Version 146.0.3844.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) When using touch mode, clicking the extensions button on the toolbar causes Edge to freeze for two to three seconds before crashing. Accessing edge://extensions/ displays normal functionality, I can open extension detail pages and configure settings without issue. Reinstalling Edge or uninstalling all extensions resolves the problem. Disabling touch mode restores normal behaviour.
Regression: Vertical tabs no longer collapse in fullscreen (F11) after latest Edge update
After the latest Microsoft Edge update, the vertical tab sidebar no longer collapses when entering fullscreen mode (F11). Previously, when fullscreen was enabled, the vertical tabs would automatically collapse or hide, allowing the webpage to use the full screen space. Now the vertical tab bar remains visible, reducing usable screen area. Steps to reproduce: Enable Vertical Tabs in Microsoft Edge Open any website Press F11 to enter fullscreen mode Observe that the vertical tab sidebar remains visible Expected behavior: Vertical tabs should collapse or automatically hide in fullscreen mode, as they did in earlier versions. Actual behavior: The vertical tab sidebar stays visible during fullscreen instead of collapsing. Additional testing: Tested in a Guest profile (fresh profile with default settings); issue still occurs Happens across different websites Restarting Edge does not fix the issue Edge version: 145.0.3800.58 (Official build) (64-bit)
New Bugs

After playing for 1 hour or so. Please Fix: Windows 11, Version 25H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5071430). Thank You!!
Edge Workspaces “Unable to load workspaces” on all devices – account-level issue?
Hello, I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Microsoft Edge Workspaces and I’m looking for guidance from the Edge team or community. Whenever I try to open or create a Workspace, I get the error: “Unable to load workspaces”. What makes this issue particularly concerning is that it happens: - On multiple Windows PCs - On a Linux PC (Ubuntu) - On Edge Stable and Edge Canary - Always with the same Microsoft account Troubleshooting already attempted: - Sign out / sign in - Full Edge reset - Cache and cookies cleared - Sync disabled and re-enabled - Sync data reset - Verified no Workspaces folder exists in OneDrive - Tested with Edge Canary Since the error reproduces consistently across different machines and operating systems, this does not appear to be a local installation issue. It looks like a corruption or invalid state of the Edge Workspaces data stored in my Microsoft account. Unfortunately, this is a free account, so I have no direct channel to request a backend reset of the Workspaces data. Has anyone from the Edge team seen similar cases? Is there a way to trigger a reset or cleanup of Edge Workspaces data at the account level? Any help or escalation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Apps on device flag in edge 145 beta .
Hello, A warm greeting. I would like to know about the apps on device flag that was introduced in Edge 145. I am running a web application that requires communication with a locally installed software. As per my information and knowledge, that requires the apps on device flag to be on and the local network flag to be allowed, but 1) When I am trying to search inside the settings of Edge, I am not able to find it at all. Please guide me on this, although I am able to find the local network flag: Sites can ask to connect to any device on your local network. 2) When I am trying to open my app inside ServiceNow CRM, it is visible on the address bar info icon but not inside the setting when I open Permissions for this site. 3) When I allow Sites can ask to connect to any device on your local network, there are three options: a) Local network b) Local network access c) Apps on device Please guide me on this flag.
