How do I change my browser settings on Microsoft Edge?

To change your browser settings in Microsoft Edge, follow these steps:

Open the Settings Menu: You can access the settings menu in one of two ways:
- Using the Menu Icon: In the top-right corner of the Edge browser window, click the Settings and more icon (which looks like three horizontal dots ).
- Using a Keyboard Shortcut: Alternatively, you can press the Alt + F keys on your keyboard.
Select Settings: From the menu that appears, click on the Settings option. This will open the Edge settings page in a new tab.

Once you are on the Settings page, you will find various categories allowing you to customize different aspects of your browsing experience.

Here's a breakdown of what you might typically find and adjust:

Setting Category	Description	Examples of Changes
Profiles	Manages your Microsoft Edge profiles, including syncing data across devices.	Add or remove profiles, sign in/out of your Microsoft account to sync settings.
Privacy, search, and services	Configures privacy settings, search engine preferences, and connected services.	Choose your preferred search engine, manage tracking prevention settings, and control access to microphone and camera.
Appearance	Customizes the look and feel of the browser.	Change the theme (light or dark), customize the toolbar, and manage fonts and zoom levels.
On startup	Determines what happens when you launch Microsoft Edge.	Set Edge to open a new tab page, continue where you left off, or open specific pages.
System and performance	Controls system-related settings and performance options.	Enable or disable hardware acceleration, manage sleeping tabs.
Downloads	Manages download settings.	Change the default download location, choose whether to ask where to save each file before downloading.
Languages	Manages preferred languages for websites and the browser interface.	Add, remove, or reorder preferred languages.
Reset settings	Allows you to reset Edge settings to their default values.	Use this if you are experiencing issues with Edge and want to start with a clean slate. (Warning: This will reset all settings to their default values.)
