Microsoft Edge common issues and the solutions

Microsoft Edge (codename "Spartan") is a web browser developed by Microsoft and included in the company's Windows 10 operating systems, replacing Internet Explorer as the default web browser on all device classes.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft claims it is designed to be a lightweight web browser with a layout engine built around web standards. It does not support ActiveX, Browser Helper Objects or any other form of plug-in (besides Adobe Flash Player), but adds new features such as integration with Cortana, annotation tools, and a reading mode. Extension support was developed and added in preview builds in March 2016, and is scheduled for release with Windows 10 Anniversary Update in July 2016.

Microsoft has taken a big leap with Windows 10, and nowhere is it seen more than in the new browser, Microsoft Edge, designed to completely replaced Internet Explorer and confront users with all-new layouts.

While Edge has been largely welcomed by Windows users, it is also a brand new browser, which means that there are bugs to work out, unfamiliar controls to learn, and problems to troubleshoot. If you are feeling frustrated with the Edge browser or have run into a serious problem, take a look at these common issues and the solutions that can help you get back on track.

How to Remove Built-in Apps in Windows 10

How to Remove Built-in Apps in Windows 10

PowerShell

First of all what is PowerShell? 

PowerShell is just an advanced version of command prompt. By using PowerShell, you can remove any store app you want to remove, even if it’s built-in app such as Music or Photos.

§     First you need to open PowerShell with Administrator right. Do this by typing “PowerShell” into the search bar on Taskbar, right click the result PowerShell and select “Run as Administrator”

§     In PowerShell, run the command below. This command searches for the app package whose name contains the word you specify in app_name (e.g. run Get-AppxPackage *maps* to find the package(s) for any app that has the word “maps” in its name). You want to do this to get the full package name so you won’t accidentally delete other apps when there is more than one app that has the name you’re looking for.

Get-AppxPackage *app_name*

PowerShell Get-AppxPackage

§     Once you run the command, what you need to look for is “PackageFullName” line. Copy the full line by       clicking the beginning of the name and drag your mouse to the end of the line. The line looks like this: 

      Microsoft.WindowsMaps_4.1601.10150.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

            After copying PackageFullName type clear in powershell and press enter.

      Then type Remove-AppxPackage PackageFullName 

      Remove-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsMaps_4.1601.10150.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

And that’s all…!!!
