Video Super Resolution Missing Options in Setting
Enhance videos in Microsoft Edge (Flag: #edge-video-super-resolution) is missing critical options in setting, making it impossible to function properly. In Version 136.0.3240.29 (Official build) beta (64-bit), as well as the previous beta build, it is missing the option to choose from three methods of video enhancement, as shown in screenshot. Here is the setting from latest beta build: This is how it is supposed to look: Thus, beta build defaults to Microsoft Super Resolution and I can't find a way to use graphics driver enhancement like RTX Super Resolution, which is critical to my experience. Also, HDR is no longer supported when video enhancement is enabled, which I believe is a limitation of Microsoft Super Resolution.Edge Workspaces sync BUGS
Hello First of all, I think that Workspaces in Edge is a very useful feature! Edge also has vertical tabs, which makes it the best tool for researchers using hundreds of tabs. I think other browsers can learn from this. With Workspaces, I can move windows I don’t currently use aside and open them again when needed without loading to RAM. Other browsers lack this feature, so I moved to Edge from Chrome. Edge is now my main tool for ongoing online research. However, after some months of use, I see that there are bugs that make me frustrated. With Workspaces, Edge is slow, it freezes, fails to synchronize, and reverts changes. 1. It does not update tabs and moves new tabs to the end. Let’s say that I have opened tabs: New Tab, facebook.com, A, B, C, D, E Later, I open links in new tabs from New Tab, Facebook, and A and leave them open. The tabs are: New Tab, msn.com/F, facebook.com, G, A, A2, B, C, D, E After some time, Workspaces synchronize, there is a short or longer Edge freeze. Then I see tabs are reorganized and F, G, H moved and changed addresses. The tabs are now: New Tab, facebook.com, A, B, C, D, E, New Tab, l.facebook.com/l.php?u=G, A2 It looks like Workspaces never update opened tabs when there was redirection through New Tab or l.facebook.com/l.php?u= or any other redirection on other websites. It only stores the first address it sees. When I refresh these tabs to see the description and go to the proper addresses, it still reverts it back! After I organize the order properly, it sometimes stays or is reverted back! This is frustrating when you need order and proper descriptions! 2. It is terribly slow, especially after opening another Workspace. I also encountered long freezes of Edge when opening another Workspace window or at random, probably when it synchronizes (a red dot appears next to the workspace name). Sometimes I have to wait 5 minutes, sometimes 15 minutes, sometimes I’m losing patience! I have plenty of PC power (12-core Ryzen 3900X, 32GB RAM, Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB) and when I check Process Hacker, I see that Edge isn’t using 100% of CPU, but still is frozen. I noticed that when it’s frozen, there are around 200 disk writes, fast changing, 9MB/s total: C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Sync Data\LevelDB\256443.ldb ... ( edge_workspace_disk.xls ) When LevelDB writes stop, Edge is unfrozen. I’ve given msedge.exe processes high priority, but it doesn’t solve anything. I noticed this on previous versions starting from 122. I use Stable and Beta (to have two separate profiles) on PC and laptop. I waited hoping it will be solved, but nothing changed. It's possible that developers only tested Workspaces with a limited number of tabs and not with power users like myself, who manage 10 workspaces with 200-600 tabs in each. The consistent unreliability suggests there may be unresolved bugs present in each version. I examined the LOG.old file in the Sync Data>LevelDB folders of each browser and noticed that when a freeze occurs, there is a specific behavior logged: 2024/06/12-13:14:19.485 1a570 Generated table #365187@0: 40283 keys, 2109396 bytes 2024/06/12-13:14:19.485 1a570 Compacted 8@0 + 1@1 files => 2109396 bytes 2024/06/12-13:14:19.488 1a570 compacted to: files[ 4 6 7 0 0 0 0 ] 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365171 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365172 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365174 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365176 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365178 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365180 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365182 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365184 2024/06/12-13:14:19.489 1a570 Delete type=2 #365186 2024/06/12-13:14:19.491 179a0 Level-0 table #365197: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.492 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.500 179a0 Level-0 table #365197: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.503 179a0 Delete type=0 #365194 2024/06/12-13:14:19.504 1a570 Level-0 table #365199: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.505 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.511 1a570 Level-0 table #365199: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.514 1a570 Delete type=0 #365196 2024/06/12-13:14:19.515 179a0 Level-0 table #365201: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.516 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.524 179a0 Level-0 table #365201: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.530 179a0 Delete type=0 #365198 2024/06/12-13:14:19.530 1a570 Level-0 table #365203: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.531 1a0a0 Current memtable full; waiting... 2024/06/12-13:14:19.539 1a570 Level-0 table #365203: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.542 1a570 Delete type=0 #365200 2024/06/12-13:14:19.542 179a0 Compacting 8@0 + 1@1 files 2024/06/12-13:14:19.556 179a0 Level-0 table #365206: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.564 179a0 Level-0 table #365206: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.568 179a0 Delete type=0 #365202 2024/06/12-13:14:19.572 179a0 Level-0 table #365208: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.581 179a0 Level-0 table #365208: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.584 179a0 Delete type=0 #365205 2024/06/12-13:14:19.588 179a0 Level-0 table #365210: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.596 179a0 Level-0 table #365210: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.600 179a0 Delete type=0 #365207 2024/06/12-13:14:19.604 179a0 Level-0 table #365212: started 2024/06/12-13:14:19.611 179a0 Level-0 table #365212: 467718 bytes OK 2024/06/12-13:14:19.615 179a0 Delete type=0 #365209 2024/06/12-13:14:19.620 1a0a0 Too many L0 files; waiting... 3. Workspaces sometimes stop syncing randomly and without notification. Occasionally, I notice a mismatch in the workspace between the PC and the laptop I use. If I close the workspace without checking, I will loose the tabs opened since the last sync! There's no notification, I must check if everything is synced or manually compare the opened tabs in the same workspace and then open them manually. After arranging them in the original order, I return to bug #1, which causes a mess when Edge moves tabs around. 4. Issues with Accessing Workspaces. This issue has occurred to me several times and is common among many users: "Error: Unable to load workspaces." Edge Workspaces error V114 - Microsoft Community Hub I tried many workarounds, sometimes they worked, yet they are not ideal and a definitive solution remains elusive. Now please tell me that Workspaces aren't still in beta phase. Workspaces are generally excellent tool, but in their current state of development, they are just a joke not worth the frustration and risk of data loss.Edge Linux: Collections and Workspaces
Hey y'all, I use Edge Dev on both Linux (at home) and Windows (at work). I started using Collections recently, and I was upset to find it doesn't work on Edge Linux (yes, my packages are up to date). Although I haven't tried Workspaces yet, it's not working either on Linux. Even if you enable it, it doesn't show up. I can see that the tab expands, but the button doesn't appear. With Collections, enabling has no effect at all. Is this a known bug, or it just doesn't work on Edge Linux yet? Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64. Version 115.0.1851.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit).
Microsoft Edge.. When viewing a PDF, I hope the table of contents does not disappear.
When viewing a PDF, Microsoft Edge I hope the table of contents doesn't disappear. When you click on a PDF or perform other actions, the table of contents disappears. I have to click every time to open the table of contents, but I wish there was a setting to always have the table of contents open.
Copilot does not open in new tabs on Canary Channel
I installed the canary version of Microsoft Edge this week to test the Copilot functionality of opening in new tabs. After working fine the first time, it stopped working unexpectedly. Now when I open a new tab, it loads the MSN news page. Does anyone know what happened? Thanks.
