Edge – Settings/Privacy page disappeared

Topic

New Reply

Go to Edge’s Settings. The left-hand column, 2nd listing – Privacy, search, services. The page will not appear. Clicking will get a blank page. It’s been like that about a week or so. Just checked on my wife’s desktop. It was OK, then it updated. The “Privacy….” page is gone.

Anybody else seeing this?

Using any third party programs that would impact/adjust tracking/blockers, etc?

Whenever an OS misbehaves think – what do I have installed that might interfere?

I’m having the same problem with the Edge 110.0.1587.63 on Windows 11.  Just bought the computer yesterday, so it isn’t anything I’ve installed.

I’m on Edge version 110.0.1587.63 (Official build) (64-bit), and the Privacy settings page is working fine.

Currently installing KB5022834 on Windows 10 Home 21H2, build 19044.2486. Will report on the results after installation.

UPDATE: It took what felt like an inordinate amount of time, but the update finally installed. After rebooting, the PC is at build 19044.2604. The privacy settings page on Edge is showing up normally.

The Privacy page reappeared, after yesterday’s Edge update.

Sorry for not replying to your replies. Apparently I didn’t check off “notify me of follow-up replies” and I didn’t go back and check, thinking there were no replys.

In the User Data directory, rename or delete the Local State file.

This will reset your cookies and search engines but it will fix the problem.

Ok I started with a fresh local state file (which reset flags), and worked, but the problem came back after re-enabling the automatic https flag  in edge://flag. Disabling this flag fixed the problem in this case;

Just a FYI: Renaming Local State file also will cause your saved passwords to disappear, you can export them before renaming Local State and import them after;
