Windows 10 Edge error message

Question

How do I fix this error message?

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet

Answer 1

Hello omisbee,

Thanks for the response. You need to uninstall and re-install your Microsoft Edge browser then. Please see steps below how.

1. Open an elevated command prompt by typing CMD in the Start Menu search field, right-clicking on Command Prompt when shown, and selecting 'Run as administrator.'
2. Now use the CD command to change to the folder associated with the latest version of Microsoft Edge that was installed. This folder is located under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application[version]\Installer. For example, if Edge 83.0.478.58 is installed, you would use the following command:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\83.0.478.58\Installer

3. When you are in the Edge folder, type the following command to uninstall the new Microsoft Edge and reinstall Edge Classic.

setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

You can now close the command prompt by typing exit and pressing enter.

Once Microsoft Edge is uninstalled, you will now have access to Edge Classic.

After uninstalling the Edge, please download it here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge and re-install it.

Answer 5

Hello omisbee,

I am Antonio, a Microsoft Community independent advisor, a Windows 10 and Microsoft office user like you. I hope I can help you on your concern.

Please try to perform the following methods below.

To clear the browsing data to resolve issues on the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge, use these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button from the top-right.
3. Click the Settings option.
4. Click on Profiles.
5. Click the Sync option.
6. Click the Turn off sync button.
7. Click on Privacy and services.
8. Under the "Clear browsing data" section, click the Choose what to clear button.
9. Use the "Time range menu" and select the All time option.

10 Check all the items that you want to clear. For example:

Cookies and other site data.

Cached images and files.

Site permissions.

Hosted app data.

Quick tip: Unless the problem is related, you don't need to clear passwords, browsing history, or autofill data.

11. Click the Clear now button.

Once you complete the steps, try to load different websites to confirm if the problem that you're seeing is gone.

If you turned off the data syncing, after clearing the browsing data, it's recommended to turn on the feature again from Settings > Profiles > Sync settings page.

If clearing the browsing history didn't resolve the problem, then you can reset the browser settings to its defaults to see whether the problem is related to an extension or configuration.

To reset the Chromium Edge to its default settings to fix problems, use these steps:

1. Open Microsoft Edge.
2. Click the Settings and more (three-dotted) button from the top-right.
3. Click the Settings option.
4. Click on Reset settings.
5. Click the Restore settings to their default values option.
6. Click the Reset button.

After you complete the steps, the feature will reset the new tab and startup page, search engine, and pinned tabs. Also, this process will disable extensions as one of them could be causing issues, and it'll clear temporary data. However, the reset option won't delete your history or saved passwords.
