Answer 1

Hello! XUE. Thanks for the details.

Sometimes hardware acceleration hides text:

1. Go to edge://settings/system
2. Turn off Use hardware acceleration when available.
3. Restart Edge.

See if this helps. If you need further assistance, just let me know.

Best regards,

Kimberly

I see. This could be caused by a recent Edge update that rolled out. It's causing the address bar

Answer 3

To be hidden until clicked. Find it on Edge and disable them.

Copy and paste this in the Edge address bar:

edge://flags/#edge-visual-rejuv

Then press Enter.

When Enable Windows 11 Visual Updates comes up, set it to disabled.

Also search this in the (edge://flags):

• edge-split-toolbar
• omnibox-modernize-visual-update

Disable them if found. Restart Edge.
