I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor). Windows XP 2019 Edition is the operating system Microsoft should be making repost. Microsoft issues KB5001330 and KB5001337 updates for Windows 10, killing off legacy Edge.

I can't access my bank and email websites or other secure websites

When you connect to a secure website, Internet Explorer uses an encrypted channel that uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to encrypt transactions. Corrupted information in the SSL can cause websites not to load correctly. Clearing the SLL state may resolve this problem. To do it, follow these steps for your version of Windows.

Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
- Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (if you're using a mouse, press Windows logo key+C keys), and then tap or click Search. Enter Internet options in the search box, and then tap or click Settings.
- In the search results, tap or click Internet Options. Tap or click the Content tab, and then tap or click Clear SSL state.
Windows Vista and Windows 7
- Click the Start button, type Internet Explorer in the search box. In the list of results, click Internet Explorer.
- In Internet Explorer, click Tools, and then click Internet Options.
- Click the Content tab, and then click Clear SSL state.

If clearing the SSL state doesn't resolve the problem, the date and time settings on your PC might be incorrect. Some secure sites require that the date and time on your PC match the date and time of the website. To check the date and time, follow these steps for your version of Windows.

Windows 8.1 and Windows 10
- Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (if you're using a mouse, press the Windows + C keys), and then tap or click Search. Enter date and time in the search box, and then tap or click Settings.

If the date and time settings on your PC were correct, some incompatible or defective Internet Explorer add-ons might be interfering with the website. You might be able to resolve this problem if you turn off these add-ons. To automatically disable a list of known incompatible add-ons, run the Internet Explorer Add-on Fix it. When you are asked whether you want to run or save the file, click Run, and then follow the steps in the wizard.

With a rather dismal reputation with its Internet Explorer browser, Microsoft had to come up with something to rival the giants in the Internet web browser market which had essentially been taken over by the likes of Google with its Google Chrome. That's where Microsoft Edge comes into play.

The new web browser by MS is a completely new browser that is powered by the same open source software called Chromium, a project started by Google employees which eventually lead to the creation of the Chrome browser.

Microsoft Edge On Xp

With that said, the new Microsoft Edge browser is certainly faster a far more compatible with web technologies than Internet Explorer ever was. It is powered by Microsoft's EdgeHTML which attempts to keep up with standards.

The design and layout of Microsoft Edge have a distinct Microsoft look to them, which means it matches quite well with its operating systems, especially Windows 10. The settings and customization options include are not too dissimilar from Google Chrome, so there's an element of familiarity for those switching from that browser.

In terms of system resources, the browser is similar to other modern browsers in that it's fast and responsive. However during tests, it seems a bit faster than Chrome with many tabs open.

When increasing the functionality of this web browser, you're given access to a multitude of different extensions. You may access extensions from Google's Chrome store if you wish, however Microsoft does maintain its own store which is exclusively for Edge users.

Overall, the look and feel of Microsoft Edge is a very welcome change from the days of Internet Explorer and it seems to be the right path taken by choosing the widely utilized Chromium source. Speed has certainly improved and the different customization options available for users of Microsoft's browser are welcome.

Features and highlights

World-class performance: improved speed over other Microsoft browsers
More privacy control: includes built-in features for online privacy
Focus on productivity: Complete customization of web browsing
Integration with Bing: Microsoft's rewards program with Bing
