Microsoft Edge News Feed Not Showing: Troubleshooting Guide

Ever struggled with Microsoft Edge not showing the news feed? We know how frustrating it can be! Just yesterday, things seemed fine, and then suddenly, poof—no news, no updates, nothing. It’s like the Internet decided to take a break from feeding you the world’s updates.

When we see this problem, it often feels like our morning coffee routine is disrupted. The news feed that used to greet us with fresh headlines and articles has vanished. This is usually due to configuration changes or server issues. Most importantly, a quick browser reset or checking the news feed settings can often solve the problem.

Speaking from experience, this hiccup can be quite inconvenient, especially if you’re used to catching up on the latest events through Microsoft Edge. But don’t worry, we’re here to walk you through getting your news feed back and making sure you start your day informed and ready.

Introduction

We all enjoy browsing the web, right? It’s relaxing to open Microsoft Edge and check the news, weather, and latest updates. But it can be frustrating when the news feed suddenly disappears. We’ve all been there, trying everything to bring back our favorite updates.

Let’s see how Edge is set up. When you open a new tab, it usually shows a news feed. This feed offers articles picked just for us. But sometimes, this doesn’t show up. Why does this happen? What can we do?

The search bar is another key part of our browsing routine. It’s where we type in our queries, diving into what the web has to offer. But when our news feed vanishes, even our trust in the search bar can waver. We need to figure out how to restore these features quickly.

We can dive into some quick fixes. Restarting Edge, checking the settings, or even clearing browsing data might do the trick.

Let’s also remember Bing Search, which we use daily for our searches. It ties everything together. If something’s off with Edge, even Bing might start acting weird.

Let’s tackle the issue together, step by step. We’ve got this!

Check Your Internet Connection

One of the first things we should do when the news feed in Microsoft Edge is not showing is to verify that our internet connection is stable. An unstable or weak connection can cause loading issues.

Ensure Stable Connection

First, let’s check if our internet connection is stable. Sometimes, we may not notice that the connection is weak or intermittently dropping. To make sure our connection is solid:

If other websites are slow or not loading, it’s likely an internet issue. This makes it crucial to ensure our connection is strong.

Restart Your Router

Sometimes, the solution to our internet problems is as simple as restarting our router. A quick reboot can resolve many issues. Here’s how we can do it:

After following these steps, our internet connection should be back to normal. If these steps don’t work, we might need to contact our internet service provider.

Adjust Microsoft Edge Settings

To fix the problem of the Microsoft Edge news feed not showing, we need to check if the news feed is enabled and clear the cache and cookies.

Ensure News Feed Is Enabled

First, let’s make sure the news feed is turned on.

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the browser.
2. Access Settings: Click the gear icon next to the search bar.
3. Choose Content: Select Content visible to turn on the news feed.

If you don’t see the gear icon, you might need to update the browser or check any restrictions set by others using the device.

Clear Cache And Cookies

Old cache and cookies can cause display issues. It’s important to clear them regularly.

1. Open Microsoft Edge: This step never changes.
2. Access Settings: Click the three dots in the top-right corner.
3. Clear Browsing Data: Click Settings, then Privacy, search, and services.

4. Check Options: Select Cookies and other site data and Cached images and files.
5. Click Clear Now: Don’t forget this step.

This process often resolves issues with a disappearing news feed. Following these steps will keep our browser in top shape!

Update Microsoft Edge

Keeping Microsoft Edge up-to-date helps ensure you have the latest features, security improvements, and bug fixes. We’ll guide you through checking for updates and installing the latest version.

Check For Updates

The first step in updating Microsoft Edge is checking if your browser has pending updates.

1. Open Microsoft Edge: Launch the browser as you usually do.

2. Access Settings: Click the three-dotted menu icon in the top right corner of the browser.

3. Navigate to ‘Settings’: From the menu, select ‘Settings.’

These quick steps ensure that you don’t miss out on important updates that can improve your browsing experience.
