Hi everyone, my very first post anywhere and I am desperate! Upgraded to Creator 3 weeks ago and Edge won't open since - click on it, opens, hangs then back to desktop. Have tried various options to repair but no joy. Now I also get funny message on start up - will try and post screen shot. Can use Opera to browse. Mmm can't see how to attach photo!
Welcome to TenForums @Juliekaren
Have you tried re-registering Edge? We have a tutorial...
Reinstall and Re-register Microsoft Edge in Windows 10
Hi Bree, yes I have done this twice as I wasn't logged in as administrator the first time.
You could try the following...Settings....Apps.....Default Apps....Click on Microsoft Edge then Reset.
The standard steps to take would be sfc /scannow followed by Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. You may have tried that already, but note that...
Run SFC Command in Windows 10...Sometimes it may take running the sfc /scannow command up to 3 times with Fast Startup turned off and restarting the computer after each time to completely fix everything that it's able to.
If not, then run the Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth command to repair any component store corruption, restart the PC afterwards, and try the sfc /scannow command again.
Use DISM to Repair Windows 10 Image
If there are still problems that sfc and/or dism can't fix, then an in-place repair install would be the next step to try.
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade
Thanks Dencal, tried that but no go 😠
Thanks Bree, have done that once but will give it another go. Am reluctant to do anything that means reinstalling all the apps. I did go in to make sure the restore was checked which it was but something below was off so I have put it on - not sure that was OK. Have taken a screen shot but as I mentioned previously, don't know how to upload it on this site.
"Edge won't work after Creator"
Good riddance! Sorry, Julie, couldn't resist.
I see no one answered your posting question.You can post a screenshot by clicking on the Image Icon above the REPLY box--the square one next to the video one which looks like photo film.

An in-place repair install keeps all your installed apps, settings and documents.
