Microsoft Edge and Cortana has disappeared from the Start Menu, Task Bar and All Apps listing. How to fix?
Loaded Windows 10 without a problem. I have two sign-ins. I added my wife's Microsoft sign-in to her ID. Upon returning to my ID, both Cortana and Edge Browser were not longer available in the Start Menu, Task Bar, or All Apps listing. FYI, my ID is the
Admin and I did not add my Microsoft sign-in. I'm able to obtain the Edge browser by typing "microsoft edge" in the "Search the web and Windows" field. Is there a way to fix this? Do I need to wait on an update? The Edge browser and Cortana continues to be
available under my wife's ID.
I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.
