Reinstalling Edge?

Question

Is there any way I can reinstall Microsoft Edge, as the version I have appears to be broken - it has none of the new features such as History and Downloads buttons, accelerated start up, kids mode, History flyout etc, though it does have the Vertical Tabs button.

My current version is 90.0.818.62 (Official build) (64-bit)

I have tried the options to "Repair" and "Reset" Edge but this has not made any difference regarding the missing features.

Not everyone has all of those features yet, but you should have the History and Downloads buttons. I assume that you have checked by clicking ⋯ (Settings and more) and then right-clicking on the items in that list whose buttons are missing. You should see Show in toolbar; if you don't something's wrong and re-installing may sort it out.

To re-install, visit Download Microsoft Edge for Business - Microsoft and select the top options under Channel and Build. Select your platform and click Download. Make sure that Edge isn't running (using Task Manager to be sure there are no instances of msedge.exe listed), then run ('Open') the downloaded installer. There's no difference between the versions available on this download page and the ones ordinary users get.

Thanks very much. I downloaded & ran the installer and my Edge now has all the features present and is also syncing properly which it didn't before. A true Top Tip!

Sorry to crash into someone else's question but I have exactly the same issue and can't get anywhere with it.

I don't have the History and Downloads buttons either, and in Settings, under Customise Toolbar, there are no options to make them visible. See attached screenshot which shows all the options I have. The other two Windows 10 PCs I have access to both have the "full" version of Edge with all the features.
