it won't show me any such layout options
Hello, Ooi zhe wei
Welcome to the Microsoft community.
I understand that you are experiencing Edge browser layout issues, here are some troubleshooting steps:
Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to the New Tab page to see the default page layout.
Look for a gear icon or custom menu: On the New Tab page, there should be a gear icon (⚙️), usually located in the upper right corner of the page or, in some versions, directly on the page. This icon opens the New Tab Page settings.
Select page layout options: Clicking the gear icon displays the customization options for the new tab page.Microsoft Edge offers a variety of layout options, such as Focus, Inspiration, Information, and Custom.
Choose your favorite layout:
Inspiration: This layout usually places the search bar in the middle of the page and includes a background image. Focused: This layout may also place the search bar in the center, but in a more minimalist way, usually without a background image. Custom: If you choose the Custom option, you can manually adjust the layout settings, which may include the position of the search bar. Find any settings related to the position of the search bar and adjust them accordingly. View Changes: After selecting your preferred layout, close the Settings menu. The new tab should now reflect your layout choices and the position of the search bar will match the selected layout.
If the search bar doesn't move: If the search bar is still at the top after changing the layout, make sure Edge browser has been updated to the latest version. To make sure you're using the latest version, click the three-dot menu in the upper right corner of Edge (...) , go to Help and Feedback, and then go to About Microsoft Edge. Edge will automatically check for updates and install any available updates.
If you have additional suggestions, please provide an image schematic and submit feedback through the Feedback feature in Edge.
