Nov 04, 2015 Edge is Microsoft's sleeker, faster replacement for Internet Explorer. It cuts out a bunch of extra features to just give you a fast and simple way to go on the Internet. Unfortunately, this means changing things and trying to clear out old features. For example, ActiveX and VBScript, which are still used by a few web sites, don't work in Edge. Microsoft Edge The new Microsoft Edge is here. With improved security, privacy, speed, and ease of use, Microsoft Edge surpasses the experience you’ve come to know with Internet Explorer.

Q: I used to use Internet Explorer as my browser and have Yahoo! as my homepage and had all my favorites listed on the right side of the screen. But a few days ago my computer updated itself and installed Microsoft Edge over Internet Explorer and now my home page is the Microsoft website and my Favorites are gone. How can I get those back?

A: In May and June of 2020, Microsoft released a large Windows 10 update for all users, which aimed to fix various security concerns and added a number of productivity options to the operating system.
While several enhancements were installed in the update, one of its more noticeable features was the prominent appearance of the Microsoft Edge browser.
Though the Edge browser itself has been around since 2015 and Microsoft has been warning of phasing out Internet Explorer (IE) for years, this update officially confirmed to users that Edge was now Windows' preferred browser – going so far as to showcase the new Windows features in an Edge-base slideshow after the post-update restart and also by installing an icon for it on the Taskbar without getting user approval first.
Having said this, please know that IE is still there – the icon you were used to clicking on may have been replaced by the Edge icon but the program is still there. Simply locate it's executable by searching for it in Cortana to use it again and then create a shortcut for it on the Desktop using the steps found at this URL if you intend to keep using it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/945402/the-internet-explorer-icon-is-missing-from-your-desktop
But don't rule out Edge just yet.
Edge looks and works similarly to later versions of IE and it's significantly more secure than IE, especially when it comes to protection against phishing.
And realistically, it will provide you everything you liked about IE beforehand provided you spend a few minutes customizing it now.
For example, to return your list of favorites to the main view, do the following:
Launch Edge, then click on the three dots in the upper-right corner of the browser window. In the menu that pops up, click on Settings and scroll down through the menu offerings until you see a line reading 'Import or Export.' Click on that and then command the browser to import your Favorites and other information over from Internet Explorer. That's it. Once completed, your Favorites should appear for you when you click on the Favorites button in Edge (the star icon with the three lines coming out of it in the top bar).

To change your homepage back to what it was pre-update (as the update may have made it the Microsoft website instead of your regular IE homepage by default), just follow these steps:
Launch Edge, select Settings (the three dots in the upper right corner) and then click on 'Settings' in the menu that appears. Then click on 'Appearance' in the new tab that appears, and under the 'Show home button' section, type in the URL of the home page you want to have (in this case it would be Yahoo.com) and hit 'Save.' Close the tab and reload the browser and the change should take effect.

One note: To ensure your Yahoo! homepage remains personalized, be sure to be logged into your Yahoo account after accessing it.
