My microsoft edge bing started having issues few weeks ago. Whenever I click to open it, it will direct me to chrome. Then, when I finished the update I could open it fine last time. But now no matter what I do, I cannot open it. I had all my bookmarks saved there, and I cannot access to that either. What should I do?

Microsoft Edge | Open the browser | Windows 11

    Hi there! Thanks for reaching out. A reliable fix is to repair it through Settings, Apps, Installed apps, select the browser, choose Modify, then Repair. This keeps your data and replaces broken files. If it still opens Chrome, set your default browser again in Settings, Apps, Default apps. Signing in with your account also restores your bookmarks if they were synced.
