Share button isn't working

Question

Hi!

I have been using Edge for a while and its great. Yesterday I wanted to send a page to my Android phone so I turned on the share button. The problem is that when I click the share button on the top left of the screen, a black box appears in the middle of the screen but 2 seconds latter it disappears without showing anything.

Why is this happening?

Thanks in advance.

Everything is updated.

Hi! My name is Anderson Souza. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you, I'll be glad to help you today.

Try to do the same procedure inside an InPrivate Edge Window (Ctrl + Shift + n), if this works try disabling extensions one by one to check if anyone is causing the problem.

You can also try to check your system files there are two tools that you can try, they are "sfc" and "dism". In the following link, you will see how to use them. This is from the official Microsoft Support page:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402652...

The System File Checker (SFC) tool built into Windows will scan your Windows system files for corruption or any other changes. If a file has been modified, it will automatically replace that file with the correct version. If the SFC command doesn’t work, you can also try the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) command to repair the underlying Windows system image.

[ Using System File Checker in Windows 10 ]

System File Checker is a utility in Windows 10 that checks for problems with files on your computer. To run it, follow these steps:

Make sure you've installed the latest updates for Windows 10, and then restart your machine. To find out more, read Update Windows 10.

In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.

Type

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

(note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)

After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type

sfc /scannow

(note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.

After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.
