since few days, the notification bell icon (rated/answered comments from media articles, new followers, etc ), smartphone icon and microsoft reward icon in the top-right corner of edge default home page (the one with daily news, weather, etc) all vanished, i have only the parameters icon available.

all notification are checked "on" in microsoft start config page.

and the icons appear without problems in the differents press articles pages, the missing icons problem seems to occur only in the edge new tab default page.

how to get the icons back???

    I clicked on the three little dots in the upper right corner of my screen (...) In the drop-down menu I clicked on Settings and in that drop-drown menu I then clicked on Reset settings. Voilà! Now I have the bell notification back plus the awards notification. Also, the butterfly and msn logo are new.

    Last night, 11/15/2024, I could see articles to read but everything I clicked on would just not open. Nothing, absolutely nothing and the only way I could read anything in any group not related to MSN was using InPrivate Browsing (VPN) but I could not read or respond to any MSN articles.

    After clicking on Reset settings I did have to sign into groups and some other sites. I hope this has solved my dilemma and maybe it will solve anyone else's, too. Below you will see the screenshot of the new, for me at least, butterfly and msn logo with the bell icon.

    Click on the MSN icon top left for a new tab and they show in there

    Hth

    Just to add for some reason MS dont allow you to change what link opens on a new tab, it would be ideal in this situation.

    same for me, but i just found, they were moved in the top-right corner of the widget page inner window

    Didn't noticed it until i get new notification, but seems the bell disappear again after you read the notifications, so if you missed something, you can't reread again. maybe a bug.

    I don't even get that notification. But notifications are turned on but absolutely nothing shows up.
