Are you signed on with a local account or with a MS account? If local then you have to specifically sign on with your MS account to download the Apps in MS store. Once the downloads are completed, simply sign out of your MS account in MS Store.

Does anybody actually use Microsoft Edge?

Not that it matters to all of you but Yes! MS Edge is my default browser now, works for me.

Maybe you should give it a try? We won't mind, and neither will we if you secretly decide not to tell anyone that you are using it either! :D

WIN 10 Home or Pro, Anniversary version 1607?

On Win 10 Pro, select MS store, Top right corner symbols look like this

The LHS symbol on the PC I am currently working on for someone , down arrow with the number 22 tells me there are 22 updates available, the next one tells me the PC is not logged into MS account, which means trying to install extensions will not work.

Click on the second symbol, sign in to you MS account, and then try and download the extension you want. Sign out afterwards if you do not want all those updates for things you are not using or do not want to come back if you have already removed them from your setup.

Fanboi?

I never understand way people get so emotionally attached to the products they use.

That applies equally to you for those that you use.

No, I just happen to have a PC that originally came with Windows and am quite happy with it. It is the continued attack by innuendo that I find irritating.

You are free to use whatever you want, provided you leave those alone that want to and do use Windows and its Apps and browsers.
 
Love these tips. Have only got the problem where trying to import favorites crashes Edge. Still using Firefox as main browser though and doubt I would ever want to change that. :)

:p

I was just curious if people actual use MS edge, did not attack your beloved browser.
 
BTW, the latest update Version 1607 ; Build 14393.105, released on 31 August 2016 has fixed the "freezing problem".
