issue
24 TopicsPDF Application Clobbering are blocking my ability to use Edge by default for employees.
I would love to use Edge as the default browser. The ability to use enterprise site mode and the built-in IE mode are amazing but Chrome legacy browser support works OK and the PDF issues with Edge are just to much for me to change from using IE 11 as default (lots of legacy web apps here) and Chrome as our supported browsers internally. Generally if Edge would stop trying to be a PDF viewer it would already be deployed, less then a month after its official release. We pay lots of money for 3rd party PDF software that is critical to many aspects of our business and internal process flow to allow Edge within 10 ft of a PDF file other than to download it and open in that program I've got set these settings: 1) Settings -> Downloads -> Ask where to save each file before downloading -> Disabled 2) Settings -> Site permissions -> PDF documents -> Always open PDF files externally -> Enabled When my employee's click on a PDF to download it they are taken to the Edge PDF viewer and given a prompt that says the "PDF reader is disabled" and given directions to either turn it on or download a file. This means the Setting 2 above is not applied right as it shouldn't prompt. Of course they choose "Download file" but when downloading the file they are then prompted and asked where do they want to save the file( This means setting 1 don't ask where to save is broken). Then the file is downloaded to their computer where if they haven't set the option to always open a PDF with system viewer the file is downloaded breaking (setting 2) and not opening externally. Honestly this is a bad and confusing experience for my employees' they need the PDF in external programs as we are using many sophisticated features of 3rd party products that the builtin reader is useless for. It takes way to many clicks and way to much troubleshooting for the users to get PDFs to open in a way that our business needs them to for me to currently make Edge our default browser. Realistically the PDF's should be downloaded to disk by default once the setting to "Always open PDF files externally" is enabled and if the option is set to always open in system viewer that should work when the files are clicked, I also have not found a way to reverse the option to always open in system viewer certainly would be nice to know how to reverse that so I can figure out how to set that as default. I also need some officially supported way to prevent Edge from trying to become the default PDF viewer. I've yet to find a good way, my solution works but it's not good. GPO setting like "Do not clobber or break PDF usage on peoples computers" would be a good start.3.1KViews4likes3CommentsError code: FACILITY_VISUALCPP/ERROR_PROC_NOT_FOUND
Since today I am getting this error in Edge Dev (version 102.0.1220.1). The entire browser has become unusable as nothing seems to work at all. All pages return the previously mentioned error, add-ons are crashing, bookmark menu is blank, opening the settings doesnt work, etc. I have tried rebooting my system and uninstalled and reinstalled it, which all didnt help. The normal Edge (version 100.0.1185.36) works normally. Is there a log somewhere that can shed light on the underlying issue?Solved14KViews3likes16CommentsWhich platform these "unavailable" flags are available on?
Normally the flags say which platforms they are available on, e.g. – Mac, Windows, Linux these flags don't say anything, just that it's not available on your platform. they are not available on Android either, Edge on Android only has 1 flag and it's neither of these. please send feedback from Edge browser about this issue, so that Edge team will hopefully specify available platforms in future updates.Solved3.5KViews2likes4CommentsIssue in showing site information in the Immersive Reader
The site information in Immersive Reader in the latest versions of Microsoft Edge stable and Insider channels shows that "Your connection to this site isn't secure" which means that if a user sees this, then the user will be thinking that viewing that site in Immersive reader would be insecure, after seeing it multiple times on different websites viewed in Immersive reader, a user might take a thought that using Immersive reader would be insecure and would not use that feature at all, this is misleading. I had sent several feedbacks about this for months, but I got no response and this issue is still not yet resolved. I am requesting to fix this issue as soon as possible.Solved1.7KViews2likes4CommentsScroll doesn't work properly on a search results page
Hello everyone, I noticed an Edge problem with the scrolling . It's annoying- When I search something into the search bar and hit enter, then on the results page, when I scroll, it scrolls too slow. I have changed the lines/speed of scroll, but it didn't help. The funny thing is, that the faster you scroll on that page, the slower it scrolls! Also, it doesn't happen anywhere else other than a search results page. I have two computers, and two mice (one for each computer), and it happens on both mice and PCs, so it can't be my mice problem. One of my computers is an Insider, and the other one is not. Did any of you have this problem? Thanks for reading, I'll be waiting to hear back from anyone!1.6KViews1like8CommentsEdge only restore one window with tabs

I'm using Windows 10 latest version with Mac 10.15.4 both running latest Microsoft Edge Version 82.0.459.1 (Official build) canary (64-bit) on Windows I have only 1 collection with few items in it edge://sync-internals/ this screenshot is from Windows 10. but on Mac I see I have 3 collections. I recently (an hour ago) deleted some collections that I didn't need from Edge on Windows but they are not Properly syncing back to other machines. this screenshot is from Mac. so right now there are some collections that are only on Mac but not on Windows and Edge sync doesn't do anything about them. I tried fully closing and reopening Edge on Mac but didn't help. also tried pressing the "Trigger GetUpdates" button on edge://sync-internals/ but there doesn't seem to be any new updates for Mac to get from Windows the Collection sync is only half way broken, not entirely. when I add all open tabs on Mac to a collection, I can see the new collection on Windows after few seconds (Not automatically, only after pressing Trigget GetUpdates button as shown above). let me know if you need any more info to solve Collection sync problem, thanks.Solved6.2KViews1like5Comments
