Content loading issues in Microsoft Edge
If you’re experiencing CORS issues or content loading problems in Microsoft Edge, clearing your browser’s cache and related data may help. Here’s a step-by-step guide to resolving these issues in Edge:
Clear Browsing Data
Open Microsoft Edge.
Press Ctrl + Shift + Delete (Windows) or Command + Shift + Delete (Mac) to open the “Clear browsing data” window.
Select All Time from the “Time range” dropdown.
Check the following boxes:
-- Browsing history
-- Cookies and other site data (Note: This will log you out, so you’ll need to log back in).
-- Cached images and files
Optionally, you can also select:
-- Passwords (to clear saved passwords).
-- Autofill form data** (to clear saved form data).
Click Clear now.
Disable Extensions
Some extensions might interfere with content loading or CORS functionality:
Click the three-dot menu ( …) in the top-right corner.
Go to Extensions.
Disable any extensions that might affect web traffic or block content, such as ad blockers or developer tools.
Clear DNS Cache
DNS-related issues can sometimes cause CORS or content-loading problems:
Open the Windows Command Prompt (search for cmd in the Start menu).
Type the following command and press Enter:
ipconfig /flushdns
Reset Edge Settings
This resets Edge to its default state without deleting your bookmarks or saved passwords:
Click the three-dot menu ( …) in the top-right corner and select Settings.
Scroll down and click Reset settings in the left-hand menu.
Select Restore settings to their default values.
Click Reset to confirm.
Check for Updates
Ensure that Microsoft Edge is up-to-date to avoid compatibility issues:
Click the three-dot menu ( …) in the top-right corner and select Help and feedback > About Microsoft Edge.
Edge will automatically check for and apply any available updates.
After completing these steps, Edge should be fully reset and ready to load content or test your application without old cache or data causing interference. If CORS issues persist, you may need to investigate server-side settings such as Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers.
