PDF toolbar in EDGE doesn't always appear

Basically, just that. I believe the PDF toolbar should reappear when you hover the mouse arrow over the area that it should appear in. I opened 4 x pdf files in a row. The first one showed the toolbar, but the others didn't.

How do I get it to reappear? Thanks for your suggestions

    Hi 3bob,

    Good day! This is Jhakesong an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to assist you with this.

    I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience. Kindly check this setting if this is enabled from your Edge browser:

    1. Launch Edge
    2. Click the 3 dots then go to Settings
    3. Select Appearance
    4. Look for Context Menus
    5. Make sure the toggle is set to ON for the option "Show mini menu when selecting text in PDFs"

    If that is already selected and it still does not work, I suggest checking for Edge updates.

    From Edge's Settings screen, go to the bottom link and click "About Microsoft Edge". Updates should run automatically if there is an available one. This should be the recent version:

    Version 92.0.902.55 (Official build) (64-bit)

    If your Edge browser is on its current version and the setting is correct, consider doing a reset and see if that helps. Here's how:

    1. Launch Edge
    2. Click the 3 dots then go to Settings
    3. Click Reset Settings
    4. Relaunch Edge, check the PDF setting again in Appearance and make sure it is turned ON
    5. See if the issue still persists.

    Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!

    Thanks for your reply. I have tried everything that you suggested. Your instructions were very clear. After updating, the first pdf download shows the mini toolbar, but like before, the next one doesn't. Does this happen for you as well?

    Install Edge again, if necessary, change the configuration as shown above.

    I hope it solves.
