    Hi,
    Which Edge channel are you using?

    edge://settings/system

        Thanks, let me know how it goes.

        by the way the new Edge has 4 channels 🙂
        You can see your channel and version by clicking on the ellipsis menu "..." 3 dots, go to Help and Feedback => About Microsoft Edge

        though I assume you're using the stable channel.

        the other 3 channels, which are beta, Dev and Canary, are here:
