    I haven't seen anything like this. But I am not sure I understand what menu items you are talking about. do you mean favorites or maybe the dropdown menu from the 3 dots at the top right on Edge itsself or tabs you may have open??.

    Mit Forgive me, I have another question about Edge. It is NOW and HAS BEEN lots of times opening some new "random" page when I click on one of the menu items. I'm trying to shut that down somehow, but having no success.

    It's annoying because it changes so fast you think you went to the page you wanted, and it's tempting to start doing the typing, but it's always some advertisement.

    Any ideas??

    Sorry for not checking this out earlier, but I have been out of town and my PC is a desktop. I use an iPad when travelling.

    Thanks Milt! That worked. I did rename the Edge folder to EE_Edge before I tried it and when it came up it wanted to import info from Google, I am assuming Chrome. I rejected that and was going to export info from Firefox, but I checked Edge and all my web sites and info were present.

    Thanks again!

    Glad to hear you were able to get it working! yes it was a good idea to make a backup of the folder. I didn't but I was lucky, always should make a backup in these situations, but I was so POed that I didn't care at that point. I was using Firefox as my browser at the time, and it was working well, just so used to EDGE mainly vertical tabs is what I use to navigate all the web pages I open.

    Anyway glad you got it going.

    Mit. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

    I have Windows 11 on a Surface Pro.

    It came up a LITTLE different, but I was able to get Edge to start, and it SEEMS OK.

    I RENAMED the EDGE Folder under the "Users\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge" To EDGE_JJK_Test"

    That way if I messed things up I could rename it back to just Edge.

    But it doesn't appear that I have to at this point.

    You are a LIFESAVER. And I thank you for your patience and trying.
