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???

    Yup. Same issue here after the past week or so. Only the gear icon. I can't reply to anything or see any comments from any article. Does this have something to do with the rampant election bots in every comment section?

    They don't seem to like me either, or it's something to do with the last updated version.

    So we need to download a Beta to fix the problem Microsoft created? I mean, c'mon man.

    finally its seems the problem solved itself today.

    Likely an update, or maybe it was a CMD repair command i used to check and repair windows corrupted files after some annoying blackscreen freeze

    sfc /scannow

    and

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    since edge is a windows integrated app, maybe the command solved the icons issue at the same time.

    Same here, I couldn't believe my eyes! It had to be something Microsoft did as all suggestions here were a failure.

    The only way I could see notifications and replies was to click on any article that had replies and then click on my name and picture which would take me any replies to my comments. A bit of a pain.
