Red overlay on Microsoft Edge

Hello MattKoh, welcome to the Microsoft community, my name is Luiz Cruz, an independent consultant and I would be happy to help you.

Try resetting the settings on the Edge and check the behavior;

Start Edge and click "..." in the upper right corner to access Edge settings;
In the left corner of the screen, look for "Reset settings", click Reset;

Close and open the application again, check if you agree;

I hope I helped, see you soon!

Hi Luiz,

Thanks for your inputs. Tried your suggestion but it does not help. Im still seeing the red after resetting. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Dear MattKoh,first I recommend that you do a clean boot to see if the Edge still has this red screen:

Clean boot serves to determine whether a background program is interfering with the system or optimizing system loading.

1. Press the Windows + R keys, type msconfig and click OK;
2. In the System Configuration window, click on the services tab;
3. At the bottom of the screen, check the Hide all Microsoft services box and click Disable all;
4. Now click on the Programs Startup tab and on Open Task Manager;
5. When loading the task manager, click on the start tab and disable all non-Microsoft programs (right-click on the program and choose disable), close the Task Manager and click OK on system configuration and restart computer if requested.

NOTE: This procedure disables all third party services and programs. You can later, if the problem is solved in this way, selectively enable the programs and services that will start with Windows, instead of keeping all disabled. If the problem returns after activating the startup of a specific service or program, the problem is exactly in the startup of this software and it is recommended to remove it.

Restart the pc and do the test, if the problem with the red screen still remains, I recommend that you restore the system as follows:

Press Windows key + I and access the settings;
Click Update and security;
Click Recovery;
In Restore your pc, click start now and follow the instructions on the screen to restore;

Note: You will be able to choose between keeping the files or removing them;

I hope I helped, see you soon!
