I'm using Microsoft Edge Version 156.0.4314.58 (Official build) (64-bit) and in the last two days I've found that the favourites menu remains on screen after I've clicked on a menu item (eg. Facebook). I haven't updated Edge or Windows since this started happening, or altered any settings. It means that I have to manually close the menu by clicking on the 'x' at the top right of the menu bar every time I choose a menu entry. Is this a know fault and/or can anyone help me to find a way to stop it happening?

    Unfortunately, the 'modify' option for Microssoft Edge in 'installed apps' is greyed out therefore cannot be chosen, and downloading the installer from https://explore.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download?form=MA13FJ and installing Edge on top of the existing Edge installation did not resolve the problem.

    This is not a reported fault in Edge.

    1

    Close Edge.

    Open the Settings App.

    Go to Apps - Installed Apps.

    Scroll down to find Edge, select Edge, then choose Modify - Repair.

    Then check if that resolves the problem.

    2

    If that does not resolve the problem, download the Edge installer form this link and use the installer to reinstall Edge on top of the existing Edge installation.
