    so today I get on Youtube and can not access the normal icons at the bottom of the video (like full screen, fast forward, image quality etc..) the icons no longer exist and further there are large boxes below the video overlaying the comment section that say "Shot information" "Reply" and so forth.

    This is not happening on any other computer so it has to be something with my PC maybe it's Bing trying to take over (I don't know). Today I did log on with the Bing picture which displays on the lock screen.

    Can someone help??

    Did you try different browsers?

    oh snap

    Yes it works fine on Firefox but not on Edge (which is my default).

    Do you have the latest update of Micosoft Edge?

    Other than that I can only think of using other browsers as default like Chrome or Firefox.

    Are you sure you weren't using another browser before and Windows 10 decided to make Edge your default browser (again)? Edge objectively sucks, so much so that Microsoft is rewriting it to be built on Chromium. Our clients have issues all the time simply because Microsoft resets the default browser with every feature update.

    Run Chrome to run another Google product (YouTube) and you will run in to less problems. I have three browsers I swap between at this point. Pin them to your taskbar and be done with it.

    nope was using edge as usual.

    Then yeah, I would suggest Chrome. Is there a reason you're using Edge?

    #12 4 years ago

    I use Firefox myself. I would stay away from edge even after they switch to chromium tech

    Good news the PC fixed itself. Thanks for the advice.

    #14 4 years ago

    By fixed itself you mean patch Tuesday happened. I work in IT and will echo others. Ditch edge.

    Microsoft itself is discontinuing Edge. Because it sucks. It is half a browser and exposes you to major security risks. Do yourself a favor and just use Chrome. The next Microsoft browser will be based on the engine that runs Chrome. For reals. Just use that
