How to Reset Settings to Default in Microsoft Edge Chromium
Microsoft has adopted the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility. This new Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium web engine as the Google Chrome browser, offering you best in class web compatibility and performance.
The new Chromium based Microsoft Edge is supported on all versions of Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server (2016 and above), Windows Server (2008 R2 to 2012 R2), and macOS.
If needed, you can reset settings in Microsoft Edge to restore settings to their default values.

This tutorial will show you how to reset settings to default for your profile in the Chromium based Microsoft Edge.
Here's How:
1 Open Microsoft Edge.
2 If you haven't already, switch to the profile you want to reset settings for. (see screenshot below)
3 Click/tap on the Settings and more (Alt+F) 3 dots menu icon, and click/tap on Settings. (see screenshot below)
4 Click/tap on Reset settings in the left pane, and click/tap on the Restore settings to their default values link on the right side. (see screenshot below)
If you do not see a left pane, then either click/tap on the 3 bars menu button towards the top left OR widen the horizontal borders of the Microsoft Edge window until you do.
