Edge reset settings missing

Question

I been having a problem with Edge not showing videos on some sites. After a few days of no results with the fixes offered on the web I decided to reset Edge. Now when I go to my settings there is no reset button to click. To be honest I was trying to watch a video on a site and it said it needed flash player to play this video. Yes, I knew better and I have never liked flash player but it was on a forum I visit a lot and I installed IE to see if it would play them with it. That's when it started.  I have since uninstalled both but still can't watch the videos on these sites. 

Do I just need to uninstall Edge and reinstall it again and will this lose my saved passwords and web credentials?

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that you’re facing issues with watching videos using new Microsoft Edge browser. I will certainly try my best to assist you with the issue.

In order to reset Microsoft Edge you need to click on the > icon next to Restore settings to their default values and then click on Reset. Refer the screenshot below:

However, concerning towards your query related to Flash Player, it will be discontinued by December 31, 2020. For more information you can refer the article Adobe Flash end of support on December 31, 2020

One of the things that you can do is trying to enabling Flash Player on Microsoft Edge and see if you’re able to play videos normally. Refer the article Turn on Adobe Flash in Microsoft Edge
