My Microsoft Edge icon has disappeared!

Can anyone help? I can't get to the Internet.

Just go to the .EXE launch the app (or do it from StartMenu) and once it loads up, right click the app icon in taskbar > pin to taskbar.

[quark12000]

Okay, I'm not sure how to do that. Can you take me through it step by step?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Just click the search box in taskbar, type Edge, click it, when opened has an icon, right click that icon > pin to taskbar. Why would anyone use Edge anyways? Try IE or Chrome instead. A browser without good extensions installed, like AdBlocker and such are useless.

I'm just getting something called Edgescape. How do I try those other programs?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Seriosly everthing should be in startmenu, all apps

[quark12000]

No, I'm not seeing Microsoft Edge or the other two you mentioned.

[quark12000]

Okay, how do I find iexplore.exe?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

You can find Edge the same way; open Windows Explorer (Winkey+E) then press F3 key and type MicrosoftEdge.exe or IEXPLORE.exe in search and wait for results...

Edge and IE are different browsers though, FYI

Launch the .EXE once found, then pin to taskbar

I seriously don't understand why they'd be missing from your All Apps in StartMenu unless they were manually deleted from there. And you should be able to search your PC via the Cortana Search bar as well.

[quark12000]

No result for either of those .exe files.

How do I access the Cortana Search bar?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Seriously, just redo your OS; obviously things are missing.
Or you don't understand how a simple search works... can't help you much more.
Google it

[quark12000]

I'm sorry, I'm not much of a computer whiz.

How do I redo my OS?

I think I'm doing the search properly; it's the little magnifying glass, right? I just keep getting that edgescape thing.

Anyway, thank you for trying to help.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

But where is your Search starting point? That could be your issue.
Launch Explorer w/ Winkey+E, then go to "This PC" and then click C Drive. Then do your search

[quark12000]

Okay, that yeilded a lot of results for MicrosoftEdge.exe and MicrosoftCPEdge.exe. What's the difference and which result should I use?

Also, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but the Store program hasn't worked for a long time either, but I don't use it, so I don't really care.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

I would just redo your OS; first download the latest Win10 via the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft

[quark12000]

Okay, how do I get to the Media Creation Tool?
