Why is Edge showing Fahrenheit on a new tab?

they seem to forget that 96% of humanity doesn’t use that stupid temperature scale...

Hello PeterKrohn1,

I am Antonio, a Microsoft Community independent advisor, a Windows 10 and Microsoft office user like you. I hope I can help you on your concern.

You can actually select what temperature to display in the new tab page, please follow these steps how to change it:

1. In the new tab page, you will see the temperature showing in the upper left portion of the screen
2. Now using your mouse, move your cursor on top of the temperature display
3. You will notice that when you hover on that area, it will show the other temperature units. If it is currently showing Fahrenheit (F), it will show beside it the Celsius unit (C)
4. Once the other temperature unit show, you can click it and it will be enabled and will be the one showing in new tab page.

You're response is highly appreciated. Please let me know if the issue is fixed, if not, we will find another way.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Keep safe always.

Sincerely,

Antonio

Hello PeterKrohn1,

Thanks for the feedback. Please try to do the following methods below.

To clear the browsing data to resolve issues on the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge, use these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button from the top-right.
3. Click the Settings option.
4. Click on Profiles.
5. Click the Sync option.
6. Click the Turn off sync button.
7. Click on Privacy and services.
8. Under the "Clear browsing data" section, click the Choose what to clear button.
9. Use the "Time range menu" and select the All time option.

10 Check all the items that you want to clear. For example:

Cookies and other site data.

Cached images and files.

Site permissions.

Hosted app data.

Quick tip: Unless the problem is related, you don't need to clear passwords, browsing history, or autofill data.

11. Click the Clear now button.

Once you complete the steps, try to load different websites to confirm if the problem that you're seeing is gone.

If you turned off the data syncing, after clearing the browsing data, it's recommended to turn on the feature again from Settings > Profiles > Sync settings page.

If clearing the browsing history didn't resolve the problem, then you can reset the browser settings to its defaults to see whether the problem is related to an extension or configuration.

To reset the Chromium Edge to its default settings to fix problems, use these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button from the top-right.
3. Click the Settings option.
4. Click on Reset settings.
5. Click the Restore settings to their default values option.
6. Click the Reset button.

After you complete the steps, the feature will reset the new tab and startup page, search engine, and pinned tabs. Also, this process will disable extensions as one of them could be causing issues, and it'll clear temporary data. However, the reset option won't delete your history or saved passwords.

Hello Antonio, thanks for your response. You have indeed outlined how the temperature unit "flipper" in the top left corner is meant to work. I have already tried it, I can change it to Celsius, yes, but the change is not being saved and is not being carried forward. It is now 12.07 AM in Melbourne, Australia and a cold 4 degrees (Celsius) outside so I'm going to bed but I look forward to this problem being solved; I will check back soon.
