    Hi,

    There have been recent reports about this issue, and it seems to be a server-side problem. Resetting the browser may help, but it’s not guaranteed and isn’t ideal if you want to keep your data. If it is indeed a server-side problem, it’s not something we can fix on our end. For now, I recommend reporting it by pressing Alt + Shift + I, as other users have done, so the Edge team can gather data and work on a fix as soon as possible. As a workaround, you may change your new tab page temporarily using this extension and redirect it to Bing. You could also pick a different new tab page by browsing the Add-ons page and use it just until the issue is fixed.
