Ways to Fix Sync Issues on Microsoft Edge

 Although Microsoft has released a new Edge browser that uses the Chromium engine to improve website and extension stability, performance, and compatibility, it, like any other piece of software, might have issues.

For example, you may occasionally encounter websites that do not load properly or render content very slowly. Microsoft Edge may display error warnings with no explanation, crash on startup, or refuse to open at all. If you use the browser with a Microsoft account, you may experience difficulty with syncing favourites, passwords, and other data, among other things.

While many difficulties have particular instructions for resolving them, you may also use generic troubleshooting techniques to fix most common problems on Windows 10, such as cleaning browser data, resetting settings, creating a new profile, and reinstalling the programme.

In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through four distinct techniques for resolving issues with Microsoft Edge's Chromium version.

How to Solve Issues deleting browsing history in Microsoft Edge

If you're having trouble loading websites, images won't open, or other weird behaviour, it's conceivable that there's a problem with the browsing data kept on your device, and removing the temporary data can help.

1.To clear the browsing data on the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge to resolve difficulties, follow these steps:

2.Open Microsoft Edge.

3.Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button from the top-right.

4.Click the Settings option.

5.Click on Profiles.

6.Click the Sync option.

7.Click the Turn off sync button.

8.Click on Privacy and services.

9.Under the "Clear browsing data" section, click the Choose what to clear button.

10.Use the "Time range menu" and select the All time option.

• Check all the items that you want to clear. For example:
• Cookies and other site data.
• Cached images and files.
• Site permissions.
• Hosted app data.

Quick tip: Unless the problem is related, you don't need to clear passwords, browsing history, or autofill data.

11.Select the Clear now option.

Once you've completed the steps, try loading alternative websites to determine if the issue you're experiencing has been resolved.

If you turned off the data syncing, after clearing the browsing data, it's recommended to turn on the feature again from Settings > Profiles > Sync settings page.

How to Solve Issues resetting Microsoft Edge settings

If clearing the browsing history does not resolve the issue, you can reset the browser settings to their defaults to see if the issue is caused by an extension or configuration.

1.Open Microsoft Edge.

2.Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button from the top-right.

3.Click the Settings option.

When you finish, the functionality will reset the new tab and launch page, search engine, and pinned tabs. This method will also disable extensions in case one of them is causing problems, as well as delete temporary data. The reset option, however, will not wipe your history or saved passwords.

How to Solve Issues making a fresh Microsoft Edge profile

If your existing profile becomes corrupted or is not configured correctly, you may experience synchronisation issues and other issues with Microsoft Edge. If this is the case, deleting and re-creating the profile may resolve the issue.
