Microsoft Edge Completely Broken on Windows 11 – Need Urgent Help

Hello everyone,

I’m experiencing a major issue with Microsoft Edge on Windows 11, and nothing I’ve tried so far has fixed it. Edge seems completely broken for me.

Here are the problems I’m facing:

  • The new tab page takes about 3 seconds to load.
  • Icons on the new tab page are unclickable, and many appear as broken images.
  • The built-in VPN refuses to turn on — it just doesn’t work.
  • The translation feature is completely broken, always showing “Unable to translate page” errors.
  • I cannot install any extensions. Every time I try, I get the error: “An error has occurred. Download interrupted.”
  • Syncing doesn’t work at all. Favorites, passwords, and account data do not sync, even though I’m logged into my Microsoft account. Instead, it just says: “This feature is coming soon. We’ll keep you in touch.”

What I’ve tried:

  • Uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Edge.
  • Completely removed Edge from my system and reinstalled it fresh.
  • Used the “Repair” option for Edge.
  • Repaired Windows 11 through the Windows Update repair tool.

Unfortunately, none of these steps have helped. The issues remain exactly the same.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there any way to fully reset or properly fix Edge? I’d greatly appreciate any guidance or solutions.

Thank you in advance!
