    Suggestions:

    Make sure MS Edge as the default browser.

    1. Launch Microsoft Edge.
    2. Click the three-dot menu icon at the top-right corner.
    3. Select “Settings” from the dropdown menu.
    4. Scroll down and click on “Site permissions”.
    5. Under “PDF documents,” toggle the switch to the “Always allow” option.
    6. Close the settings tab.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    This may be due to some settings issues with the browser or operating system. You can try the following methods to solve this problem:

    Ensure that both your Windows and Edge browsers are the latest versions. Sometimes updates can fix some issues.

    Attempt to clear the cache and cookies of Edge browser. Sometimes these data can cause abnormal browser behavior.

    If the problem persists, you can try resetting the settings of the Edge browser to the default values. This can be achieved through the "Reset" option in the settings menu of the Edge browser.

    Hope this answer can help you well.

    Best regards，

    Jill Zhou
