I use Edge every day since early 2022, the feel is just like Chrome, so I keep going. Yesterday I tried to close Edge before bed, then restarted it, but it didn’t boot. I closed my PC instead. Today I noticed Edge doesn’t start at all (not even in Task Manager). Luckily, I have the Chrome installer on my system. I’m choosing to use Chrome now and import my bookmarks from Edge, but there are two issues I need to fix first. First, the Bookmark import doesn’t recognize Edge as a browser; only Microsoft Internet Explorer shows up, which doesn’t work and nothing imports. I’ve made sure Chrome is fully updated. Second, I need to resolve the problem so Edge becomes usable again—what should I do?

Visit bleepingcomputer.com for the solution. The issue stems from an outdated policy setting that may be activated by specific antivirus software, customization tools, registry changes, or enabled features.
