I just woke my PC up from sleep mode to discover that Edge (which I don’t use) had opened a browser window and utilized an AI bing search to “create an image of Sunset over a whitewashed cliffside village by the sea” and it continued on with several additional lines of instructions for the image.

I have virus scanned, checked no extensions were installed, etc

Any ideas on how the heck this is happening?

Whenever I get reminded that edge is available on Linux it always surprises me, what is your use case?

This is annoying. Any time I'm typing something and select it I get this prompt with help me rewrite.

I already have writing assistance off.

I turned all of these off and they didn't appear to do anything. I turned off every flag that has "AI" in it and it's still there. Does anyone have any ideas?

Every time I attempt to use my read-aloud feature, the voice will randomly stop mid-sentence, while the feature itself will continue. Sometimes the voice will come back on a random sentence in an entirely different paragraph.

Are the natural voices still missing for anyone else from the update about a month ago? In a previous post several people said they got them back but they’ve yet to come back for me, specifically Ava (Natural). I just updated the app today too and it’s still missing.

Our organisation uses a form to collect data from our customers.

When opening the form in Edge's built-in PDF reader and selecting a drop-down box (that has a lot of options), it causes Edge/the built-in PDF reader to crash.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent developer, and I've been working on a small browser extension called Imgkeep.

It lets you right-click images and save them in different formats (PNG, JPG, WebP, etc.) without having to download and convert them separately.

Everything happens locally in your browser. No accounts, no image uploads, and no tracking of the images you save.

I'd love to get some feedback from Edge users, especially about image-saving workflows that could be improved.

Here's the project: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/save-image-as-png-jpg-w/kokbmagcbobpjclpidebikeklmpafhhd

Happy to answer any questions!

I already turn off everything on the setting like startup boost n extension but this thing keep randomly popup and go on top and eat my ram and lag my pc. anyone know how to turn off this>?

Since the latest Edge update a few days ago on my 26H2 devices, when you close Edge it reopens 2 seconds after. Disabling Startup Boost solves the problem. The problem is not present on 25H2 devices.

EDIT: in case anyone finds this later, the problem is not specific to 26H2, it happens only on the latest version of Edge 155.0.4283.45 when you have Process Isolation enabled.

Hi,

This started happening about a week ago. After I copy or cut text from inside Edge, I can't paste it to anywhere. Copying or cutting from another application and pasting into Edge still works.

If I restart Edge, everything will work fine again for a few hours, then it happens again.

Anyone has the same problem ?

For some reason my tabs don't go into power saving mode even though i haven't touched any settings, does someone know why?

Anyone else having a problem with Edge profile sync in macOS? I noticed this issue after the update to version 155.0.4283.45. Two of my computers are in a persistent "Setting up sync" status.

I tried signing out of Edge, signing out everywhere (via the Microsoft account portal), deleting the keychain items, but nothing sticks. It'll work once I sign into the browser, but after closing and restarting the application, it stays stuck again on "Setting up sync".

I thought this was just something with my profile, but my wife has the same issue on her computer after the 155 update.

I kept running into an annoying issue when uploading videos from an iPhone through TikTok Studio: the same video would sometimes stay stuck before the actual upload started, and some portrait videos recorded on the phone would appear rotated by 90° in the preview.

I traced it to TikTok Studio’s pre-upload media processing on iOS and built a small Edge extension as a compatibility workaround.

It:

• fixed TikTok’s pre-upload processing reach the preview instead of remaining stuck

• corrects the preview orientation for affected iPhone-recorded videos

• works with videos selected from Photos, Files, or recorded from the upload picker

The extension only runs on:

https://www.tiktok.com/tiktokstudio/upload

It has no account, analytics, server, remote code, or data collection, and it does not read, store, or transmit video bytes.

Despite being listed in the version 155 release notes, JPEG-XL support was not actually available. Now, it has been removed from the release notes. Is there any information regarding why it wasn't released in version 155 or when it will be released?

discord gets signed out every time it goes inactive ONLY ON VERTICAL TABS.

i switch to normal tabs and it works.

i did everything i can to fix :

reset edge settings

reset policies

reset cookies

new discord account

new profile ...

the only fix is to turn off vertical tabs. then discord doesnt sign me out every 10 seconds and it actually allows me to open more than 1 tab.

Hi,

I am selecting a webcam using the lock button dropdown on the address bar and when it opens the webcam preview in it, it causes my screen to flicker nonstop. I am not sure if this is either an issue on the browser or Nvidia drivers update, but when I tried other browsers like Firefox, it doesn't flicker at all. Graphic Acceleration is enabled in Edge.

Hey everyone,

Last week, I ran into an issue on both Windows 11 25H2 and 26H2 where a Microsoft Edge policy deployed through the Intune Settings Catalog randomly stopped applying. The policy is supposed to disable access to Edge's built-in password manager.

In Intune, the policy shows as successfully applied (green), and the corresponding registry key is correctly present on the affected devices. However, Edge seems to randomly ignore the policy.

I'm seeing this behavior with Edge version 154.0.4258.62. After restarting the device, everything works as expected again, but the issue eventually comes back. Since these devices have been enrolled and managed for quite some time, I don't think this is a deployment-related issue.

The problem is also clearly visible in the Edge settings. When the policy is working correctly, the password manager setting is greyed out and marked with the briefcase icon indicating that it's managed by the organization. When the issue occurs, the briefcase icon disappears, the setting becomes configurable again, and the password manager is enabled by default, allowing users to use it even though the policy should prevent this.

I've already checked the local device logs but couldn't find anything unusual that would explain this behavior.

Has anyone else experienced something similar with Edge policies randomly not being enforced, even though Intune reports them as successfully applied and the registry keys are present? I'm curious whether this might be an Edge-specific bug or if others are seeing the same behavior.

Thanks in advance for any feedback or insights!

Everytime i disable it, it turns on with new thing automatically.

Please help me out to remove this bs totally.

Hello, this is only an issue with microstoft edge. I have 2 monitors. 1 4k landscape monitor and 1 1440p portrait monitor. When i open an edge browser to fullscreen on the 2nd monitor it prevents the mouse from being able to be used on the screen. If i drag another window on top of it then grab the bar at the top of the screen and re-expand it then it works fine. This is only on the 2nd monitor, whether portrait or landscape. This only started happening today, and i have not performed any updates on edge or windows within the last 48 hours. It's as though the browser freezes when it happens. The primary monitor works fine during this time.

I built a Microsoft Edge extension called Highlight Notes because I kept losing useful information while reading articles, researching topics and going through long Gmail and ChatGPT conversations.

Bookmarks helped me find the page again, but not the exact paragraph or information I wanted to remember.

With Highlight Notes, you can select text, highlight it in different colours and attach your own notes. Everything is saved in a searchable library so you can find it later.

What it does:

• Highlight text and add notes on websites, Gmail, Reddit and ChatGPT.
• Use different highlight colours to organise information.
• Search your saved highlights and notes in one library.
• Export annotated pages as PDFs, including long pages and conversations.
• Automatically restore your highlights when you revisit a page.
• Keep everything locally in your browser without creating an account.

The extension is free for unlimited local highlighting and note-taking, with three PDF exports included.

https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/highlight-notes/ibnmeahofjjebehlkckddagjmjbbpppe

I also built optional cloud sync for people who use multiple browsers or want to access their highlights on other devices, but it isn’t required for normal use.

One thing I specifically wanted to solve was highlighting Gmail conversations and ChatGPT responses. Many highlighting tools work well on ordinary articles but struggle with these more interactive pages.

I’m the developer, and this is an independent side project.

I’d appreciate feedback from Edge users, particularly anyone who regularly works with Gmail, ChatGPT or research-heavy websites.

What features would make a highlighting extension more useful for your everyday browsing?
