The official place to report bugs

I am a user of the beta version of Edge on Linux. From time to time, I encounter bugs that I’d like to report. After some searching, this forum is the closest I have found to a bug tracker. So I was wondering whether there’s a dedicated place for reporting bugs or should I just post here?

  • speech to text won't work and when it does it won't work on the automatic one and you have to end it by hitting the x mark.  you start it by hitting windows key and the letter h.  sometimes all the speech will type is mumbo jumbo incoherent letters even if you spell it it types letters your not even saying.

    I did a search and find I'm not the only one with this Windows Explorer glitch in Win 11. While watching a video the Explorer window just opens up in full screen mode over the video. This started happening several times after one of the more recent updates before the October 2023 updates. I keep my machine updated religiously but this is just bizarre. Others said they contacted MS with "no fix in sight for the present time" as the official response. Any work arounds to this? Also, the Explorer window is not minimized and is underlayed beneath the video window. It just blinks to the foreground!

      VLC was the media player during these events.

        I noticed something just before Windows Explorer jumped to my main viewing panel while watching a video. I was using a download client and when the process was done and just closed, the Explorer window popped on the main viewing area.dleary57

    Hello, the problem is with Windows 11, and it is as follows:
    When I open the PC and play for 2-3 hours, the mouse has no problem, but after about 3 hours the mouse suddenly lags, it doesn't respond as quickly, the problem is called input lag. If I restart the PC, the problem disappears for another 3 hours, I reinstalled Windows, but no change,  I changed video card drivers, I had this problem with Windows 10 for about 2 years ago, but it was solved, I had a different configuration of the PC then.

    After installing the new excel updates -- Aug 15, 2023 -- I am unable to open my excel file. It says "Excel cannot open the file 'budget 9.xlsx' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file."

    WINDOWS 11 VIRTUAL DESKTOP MANAGER QUITS WORKING

     

    It basically refuses to come up. Neither the Win-Tab shortcut nor the Task Bar button work. 

     

    Since the last update (Version 10.0.22621 Build 22621) I have been unable to use the Virtual Desktop Manager reliably. I haven't done full troubleshooting yet. I decided to post first.

     

    I did basic troubleshooting and am about to repeat that and take notes for the bug report.

     

    SPECIFIC SYMPTOMS:

    • The VD MANAGER broke immediately following the Update..
    • Restarting Windows Explorer with Task Manager, and Rebooting my system will make it work again temporarily.
    • As soon as I try to work within the manager it starts to glitch, freezes, recovers, but in another couple of minutes will not respond / come up again..

     

    MY CONFIGURATION (This was working fine for months)

    • My system resources are fine - demand is very low.
    • I have 17 desktops, all of them have the same background. No other customization.
    • I have several apps on all VD's, and several on a unique VD. EXCEPT:
    • I have about 26 FireFox windows distributed across most of the 17 VD's.
    • The memory and CPU use for that is minimal because all tabs are frequently streamed to bookmarks and the tabs are automatically unloaded every 15 minutes.

     

    I am about to try it without Firefox running so I'll be back.

      So yes, Firefox sets it off. I discovered the Feedback Hub App (which doesn't show up searching for keywords like Support or Bug - as usual - hope AI helps.) And I filed a report. I'm still stewing on my best approach - but this platform is not solid enough to serve as a business platform, much less to build anything with it. Same old story. I may reboot DexPot and keep that configuration set to minimally complex.

  • Hi, hazem-gamall 

    Of course, the most valuable thing for Team Edge is to add > diagnostic data to the feedback - only in this way you can develop a patch for all users 🙂

    In Microsoft Edge , you may press Alt + Shift + I and it will open the feedback menu where you could fill up and share bug report. It is recommended to open it on website which might have problem (if you are reporting a problem with website).

      Reza_Ameri Co Pilot deleted my saved data for my Steam games after i asked it where it gets its data for making ai generated images.

      i asked it if it uses copywritten material and it refused to answer, disabled the conversation and said it couldnt answer me. My Desktop icons for my Steam games were gone, my saved files gone and uninstalling and reinstalling Steam did nothing. its not a Steam glitch as steam boots up fine and has all my trophies.
