Bigger screenshot with WinVer dialog to show it's really Edge on Win10

| Jul 31, 2023 at 23:22 | comment | added | Dave | @Destroy666: See my response to JaromandaX above re. why you may not have encountered this (yet). Only 1 extension: uBlock Origin. Actually tried a browser reset, & as expected, even on bare bones Edge the popup showed up on close soon enough (thankfully, since browsing sans uBlock is hell). Not sure I've ever seen it while closing an Incognito Mode Edge window, since I hardly use that (Edge isn't my primary browser). Finally, I know what OS I use. The screenshot shows only the popup dialog cropped, and yes, that's what it looks like in Edge on Win10 22H2 (build 19045.3208). No OS/Edge themes. | |

Just for the record though, both sfc and dism outputs indicate no issues whatsoever, as expected. I know how to administer and maintain my systems, far better than most. | |

Microsoft, like many other tech companies, is known to roll out certain features gradually, or even do A-B testing of new 'features' with sections of its user-base. Unfortunately it looks like I'm one of the 'chosen ones' in this case. | |
| Jul 31, 2023 at 19:27 | comment | added | Destroy666 | I don't see anything like that either. I assume more people have that since there are 3 upvotes. Perhaps it's some extension? Which ones do you have enabled? Does it happen in incognito mode? Also, you sure this is Windows 10, which is in tags? Looks more like 11, unless it's some weird theme. | |

(2) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup (3) DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (4) SFC /SCANNOW (5) Restart when all the above is complete and test. | |
