Networking issues since January 23 (approximately)
Hi everyone, I'd like to start by clarifying that the issue I have is happening on Insider builds (one PC in SLow, one in Fast), and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. Here's the thing: Last week, on Thursday (I think), both of my laptops started indicating that my home Wi-Fi connection wasn't connected to the internet, despite my phone and other devices saying otherwise. What's more, despite the error, both my laptops could browse the web (using the new Edge) or check for updates. However, UWP apps like Unigram, OneNote, and To Do didn't work. I only actively use one laptop, so there are no settings I could have changed on both, and since they're on different versions of Windows 10, and neither got an update prior to the issue, so it was completely out of the blue. After running the network troubleshooter, resetting my router and modem, and updating drivers, nothing seemed to work. Eventually, though, my main lapto seemed to sort itself out on its own, and my secondary laptop, while it took a little longer, also stopped showing the error. However, I have now noticed that VPN apps based on UWP, like TouchVPN and the Store version of Avira Phantom VPN, always fail to connect, and that happens on both laptops. There are no limits I've reached, and the apps work on my phone. Likewise, the classic desktop app for Avira still works fine with Phantom VPN. Put short, it seems like there's something about UWP apps that's not working quite as it should. Though most apps are fine now, VPN apps based on UWP aren't working. I have no clue why, but I hope someone can help. Thanks in advance!1KViews0likes1CommentOpening all favorites at once, and other issues
Hey everyone, Today I opened Edge Canary 77.0.194.0 and for some reason, there were a couple of new favorites there that I didn't add. Specifically, there was a duplicate link to Booking.com, plus a new folder called "Imported from Internet Explorer", which, admittedly, does have my old bookmarks from a few years ago, but wasn't there before. I'm not sure if it's related, but after this I went into the settings to see if anything could have happened, and all the sync options aside from the main one are disabled, though no errors are displayed. Has anyone else seen something similar? Thanks! EDIT: I just now realized that I forgot to talk about the biggest point I mentioned in the title. Basically, before favorites were displayed as just icons, my favorites bar would have an arrow at the end, letting me see the items that didn't fit into the bar. What was cool was that I could press Ctrl + click that arrow to open all of my favorites at once. Now that the favorite items are small, the arrow is gone, and the only way to open them all is to right-click the favorites bar and choose the option from there. I wish it was just a little faster, and that I still could choose to the see the names, since many of my favorites have the same icon. Maybe this could be offered as an option in the settings - we could even have an option to set the maximum length of the page title in the favorites bar.1.2KViews0likes3Comments- 1.1KViews0likes0Comments
No updates for Canary?
Hey guys. I haven't been getting any updates in the Canary channel this week, and I was wondering if I'm the only one. My Canary install is now an older version than the recently-released build on the Dev channel. I tried downloading it again from the Insider website but it didn't seem to work. Is anyone else getting this?1.2KViews1like6CommentsRe: *Updated 9/3* Syncing in Microsoft Edge Preview Channels
Elliot Kirk I've mentioned this in a few threads, but it's been two weeks and sync is still not working for me. Syncing initially worked fine, but since version 75.0.137.0, it consistently tells me it can't connect to the sync server. I reported this two weeks ago in this thread, and last week I sent feedback through the dedicated button. Today I thought uninstalling and reinstalling the browser might help, but it didn't. I don't know what it is, but it just won't work.103KViews1like1CommentBuild 75.0.137.0 says it can't sync
Hey everyone, Today, after updating from build 75.0.134.0 to 75.0.137.0 (Edge Canary, of course), my Microsoft account was signed out of the browser, and upon signing in, it seems to be unable to sync. The settings page says it's unable to connect to the sync server. Surely a minor speed bump, but I thought I should report it. Thanks!5.8KViews2likes12CommentsBuild 75.0.137.0 says it can't sync

Hey everyone! I'd like to make a feature request regarding user profiles, and it's essentially the ability to create shortcuts, be it in Start, the Tasksbar, or the desktop, to open Edge into a specific user profile. Google Chrome allows this and I think it saves a lot of time getting to what we want. I hope this can be done. Thanks in advance!2.5KViews5likes5Comments
