thanks for the update ! I wish I could still blush 
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

It's been a while since my last confession, but I blush to disclose that I did not really blush!

Over the past couple of years or so, my computer became horribly cluttered with all kinds of junk, and lately it started some funky behavior. So I decided to do a clean install of the Windows 10 Fall Update. I downloaded the tool to create Fall Update install media. The systems drive was re-partitioned to meet UEFI requirements. I was doing quite well (or so I thought) until the install was complete and I tried Edge for the first time. Every time I tried to run a search in Edge, the browser would freeze. I couldn't shut it down and restarting the computer had no effect. Edge remained frozen and useless.
Then I found this valuable advice on YouTube:
Reinstalling Edge[^]
In summary re-installing Edge is a two step process:
1) Delete the following hidden folder (after a safe boot):
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_********
2) After a normal boot, run the following command in Admin PowerShell:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}
Manually enable Development Mode in Settings, if required. And if all goes well: Voila! You will have a fresh install of Edge!
Be sure you have a good restore point (or better: A recent systems drive image), before you start messing with systems folders and PowerShell commands - just in case things go wrong.

So...this begs the question: What gets broken in Win10 if you don't tell it to reinstall Edge?
I personally never use it, my default browser is set to something else, yet every once in while some link will insist on opening Edge...

I have become a loyal Edge user. It has too many nice features I like, I won't bother with anything else!

the answer is to ask in the correct place,
start by reading the first line under the "Welcome to the Lounge" title above.
Installing Signature...
Do not switch off your computer.

Throw away everything that isn't in between a set of double quotes.
What is left is data.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Wow. You can do that in VB.NET???

Yeah, there is a standard Shared method in the WrngFrm class: FckMyShtUp - you pass it the file, and it does it all for you.
It's part of the MoreOn Assembly.

You can do just about anything in VB.NET - it does, after all, reference the same framework as any other .NET language. IT may not always be the most efficient language, though for most smaller projects, and esp not involving heavy graphic work, it is just as good as any other.
I'm sure you know all this really. Sorry - but I have a bee in my bonnet about people dissing VB. I see a kind of intellectual snobbery at play when "real programmers" have a go at it, which is quite unwarranted.

Any language which still contains "On Error Resume Next" deserves dissing.

I dunno... reckon there's a good life lesson buried in there somewhere...

Ok, while I was all about the VB.NET bashing... I just gotta say touché on this. Great comeback.

ON ERROR RESUME NET ==
try
{
statement1;
}
catch { }
try
{
statement2;
}
catch { }
...C# is quite a bit more verbose for shooting yourself in the foot.

Indeed - you have to really work at it to be that stupid!

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.
