    Hi MrJeffery907,

    Good day! This is Jhakesong an Independent Advisor and I will be happy to assist you with this.

    From the way it looks, Edge is opening up with an invalid website address as its default homepage.

    com.microsoft.msedge:// is not a valid website address. I tried it on my Windows computer and also on my Iphone (Installed Edge from the Appstore). Mine displays fine. I tried to check for settings in Edge for IOS to see if we can change the default homepage but it doesn't seem to be available. You can still use Edge if you type the website address manually from the address bar but it will always come up with the invalid address when you launch it.

    If I may ask, have you tried to uninstall the Edge App from your Iphone and re download it again? This might override the settings you are currently having when you install a fresh copy from the App Store.

    Hope this helps. Have a great day!

    You could access the network settings, maybe the problem is there, to do this, follow these steps.

    The first thing you should do is access the Windows Control Panel. We can enter it by pressing the start button and searching for "control panel". Once the result appears, click on the link.

    Among the multiple options present in the control panel, click on Networks and Internet.

    Now select the option Network and Sharing Center, in the left corner of the screen you will see several tabs, click on Change Adapter settings.

    Depending on the type of adapter you have, be it wireless or wired, both will be shown on the screen, select the one you are using, if it is wired, the option is Ethernet, on the other hand if it is a wireless connection it appears as Wi-Fi.

    Right-click on your Internet connection and press on the Properties option. Doing so will display all the configuration options related to this network adapter.

    The network setup options should appear on the screen.

    You must click on Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP / IPv4).

    After selecting this option, click on Properties, in this way the screen that we have to configure to solve the problem will appear Microsoft Edge does not open pages in Windows 10.

    At the bottom of the screen the option "Obtain DNS server address automatically" should be enabled, you must change it to "Use the following DNS server addresses".

    The system will not be required to provide the information related to the DNS, this is configured as follows: Preferred DNS Server in 8.8.8.8, and the Alternative DNS Server in 8.8.4.4.

    Click on the option Validate configuration on exit and then click on OK.

    After the previous steps the problem should be solved, if not, you can try restarting the computer and try browsing again.

    Let me know if this helped you friend, if not let me know to try to find a solution to your problem.

    I give up. It seems that youre incapable of understandjng that im on a mobile device and theres absolutely no reason for it to be a network error. You can stop responding with your copy paste responses.
