Juan, it should initiate either by Win+H or via the mic icon on the Touch keyboard. Try it using English (United States) US keyboard; although, should be ok with others. I'll it that others things are hearing your mic, I'm sure you've tested that successfully. I take it it's only within Edge C that you cannot dictate. That is a hard to explain or imagine why, at least for my (wee) mind.
Cheers,
Drew

@PiecesOf8 while I was the one asking for an ability to pin the website to the taskbar, and I'm rather happy about its implementation (with one glitch yet -- the taskbar button is not protruding itself, when it's launched), but I didn't think it would be implemented in "Pin to Desktop" expense. I hope you guys will get it back with the next release. I hope both are going to be possible I the final version.

Not likely to return; was not supposed to be there in the 1st place and they fixed their goof. It has never existed, not in our browsers nor from Start nor from an Applications window. And putting things all over the desktop has never been encouraged. It does, however, make good sense to, actually, pin things where they can, actually, be seen & easily accessed whilst working or doing things on that same desktop.
Cheers,
Drew

@josh_bodner Great job! This update fixed an issue with LastPass failing to log-in after multifactor identification (YubiKey in my case). Worked on both Win8.1 and Win10.
I haven't used Edge Chromium for about a month because of that. Thanks for the fix, I am back at it.

Still can't find:
Where is this setting? - Looked for it in Settings and the context menu of the favourite bar : EDIT: found it!
Could you be clearer how to locate "edit"
Thanks

Sure! As far as I could tell, you meant this one:
"Added an option to show only the icon for individual favorites on the favorites bar."
After that, the name of that favourite will be gone, and only the icon will be visible.
To revert the change, repeat the above steps on the same favourite's icon

@josh_bodner Please Please Please bring back "Set aside tabs." Along with other unique features to the current Edge such as handwriting on pages, etc. As an IT Admin at an Enterprise firm, the Sets feature in particular was the biggest selling point for choosing Edge over other browsers. You simply cannot exclude it from the new Chromium Edge.

Great! Now can we not also add this same option for the folders we have on the Favorites Bar as well to which I have many, many of them?

@AndrewGolubevI've got error often too!!!
Jul 04 2019 04:55 PM
Same here. Some websites crash every few minutes.
Probably, something bad is happening with banners or background tracker scripts, because they don't crash if uBlock Origin is turned on.

@3OJIOTO
Please, list or describe the frequent error you mention. I have no errors, but, I am interested in your issue.

@PastorGL
Please, list the sites that are crashing. None I have opened have crashed. Curious to know which are giving you trouble.

Can we get the "folders" added to this "show icon only"

@PiecesOf8
All one has to do is drag-n-drop the URL from the address box to put a shortcut on the desktop. Possibly the idea, other than pinning, is to have 'special' sites kept as Favorites rather than storing shortcuts for things on a desktop.

Drew

@EdTheGuy
Not necessary! Just grab the URL by its padlock & drag it (creates a shortcut) to the desktop. 1 simple maneuver, DONE.
Cheers,
Drew

@Jacques Van de Meerssche
We think Pin to start will be added.
Just as an aside:
BTW, desktop is not, really, a storage place. Having one loaded with icons is, not really necessary. Shortcuts is an oxymoron.
Cheers,
Drew
