Hello

You can create a new local account by following the steps below and switch to the newly created account to see if the function is normal. Because this cannot be ruled out due to the wrong configuration. Visit****Create a local user or administrator account in Windows - Microsoft Support****for more details.

1. Create a local user account
2. Select Start> Settings> Accountsand then select Family & other users. (In some versions of Windows you'll see Other users.)
3. Next to Add other user, select Add account.
4. Select I don't have this person's sign-in information, and on the next page, select Add a user without a Microsoft account.
5. Enter a username, password, or password hint—or choose security questions—and then select Next.
6. Change a local user account to an administrator account
7. Select Start > Settings>Accounts.
8. Under Family & other users, select the account owner name (you should see "Local account" below the name), then select Change account type.
9. **Note:**If you choose an account that shows an email address or doesn't say "Local account", then you're giving administrator permissions to a Microsoft account, not a local account.
10. Under Account type, select Administrator, and then select OK.
11. Sign in with the new administrator account.

Note: If the new account is normal, please do not delete the old account before backing up the data of the old account to avoid any data loss.

Note: If the new account can install the feature normally, and you want to use the new account, then you need to understand that the user data in the old account (under the C:\user<your user name> directory) will not be synchronized To the new account, you can only restore the data as much as possible by copying all the data (files, folders) under the old account to the new user folder and replacing the files/folders under new user account, then there is no guarantee of 100% success, including your User data from some Windows apps and all third-party apps in the old account won't sync. So please proceed with caution.

We look forward to hearing back from you.

Hello JeffGelatka

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

To address the issue with the taskbar icon overflow missing in Windows Edge Canary, you might want to check if the Hidden icon menu has been accidentally turned off. This menu is also known as the overflow menu, and turning it back on could restore the taskbar system tray hidden icon menu​​.

Have you tried this method? This may be useful to you:

Because you are using the preview version, the update may have some unknown errors. You can attach some relevant photos next time you reply. This helps me understand the problem better.

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.
