Microsoft Edge will not open, I have tried all the fixes. I get a white screen for 3 seconds then nothing. I can get on the internet at all.

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    When Edge closes immediately after launching to a blank screen, it often means key application files are corrupted.

    To resolve this, you can perform an in-place reinstall:

    This refreshes all system components while keeping your profile, bookmarks, and settings intact.

    If the problem persists, please let me know, and I will provide another method.

    Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
