Is there an issue with the file upload in Azure?

Question

I am trying to upload files to create a vector index in cognitive services. However, when trying to create a data asset or running the vector index flow, I can't upload files. When I click the +, nothing happens. I tried uploading to a blob store directly but it is the same behavior. In the storage explorer, clicking on upload and then clicking the link that should open a local file selection doesn't work.

Issue: Encountering difficulties while attempting to upload files for creating a vector index in cognitive services. Despite efforts to create a data asset or run the vector index flow, the upload process is not functioning. Clicking the "+" button or attempting to upload directly to a blob store does not yield any results. Additionally, using the storage explorer to upload files also proves unsuccessful, as the link to open a local file selection does not work.

Solution: After checking the browser console, it was apparent that certain parent elements were missing to create the file picker. However, resolving the issue involved updating the Edge browser. This suggests that a recent update in the Azure Portal might be incompatible with older Edge versions. Notably, multiple team members experienced the same problem simultaneously, and updating the browser resolved the issue for everyone.
