    To restore the Edge news feed, open a New Tab in Microsoft Edge and look at the top-right corner of the page for the gear icon labeled Page settings.

    If the gear icon is visible:

    1. Open a new tab.
    2. Select Page settings (gear icon).
    3. Turn the feed/content back on, or choose the layout and content preferences.

    If the gear icon is not obvious:

    • In many apps and pages, settings are shown as a gear icon.
    • In some cases, the More icon must be selected first before Settings appears.

    For general Edge settings, the path is:

    1. Select Settings and more (...) > Settings.
    2. For startup and new tab behavior, go to Start, home, and new tabs.
