How do I test on Microsoft Edge on Xbox?

How?

Because when I try to download a image on Microsoft Edge (on Xbox), the browser says 'Downloads are not supported on this device'. I believe it use to let me do that on the old Microsoft Edge. But on the new, Not anymore.. 😔

On Firefox and the Microsoft Edge browser (the one that comes with Windows 10, not the new Chromium based Edge that is being tested), I also have issues loading my messages.

However, using Google Chrome or the DEV channel of the Microsoft Edge Insider preview, I can access my messages on the web.

Also check that you do not have script or ad-blocking add ons in your browser, or at least disable them for the Xbox domain.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there.

I'm an Independent advisor and I'm here to help you with your concern.

Before answering it, I would like to say that it is a pleasure to interact with you in this thread.

Badcoolplayer, I did the test through Microsoft Edge and Chrome on the website: https://xbox.com. And I got the same error. Maybe it's a temporary error.

However, I installed Microsoft Edge in the dev version, and it worked. Take the test and check if it works there too: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft...

If not, try resetting your browser settings:

Note: your browsers will be reset. History, Cookies and Favorites will be deleted.

Microsoft Edge:

1. Close Microsoft Edge;

2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run Menu;

3. In the Run Menu, type: %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge and click Ok;

4. Rename the User Data folder to User Data.old;

5. Reopen Microsoft Edge and test;

6. Persisting, close Microsoft Edge again;

7. Navigate between folders C: > Program Files (x86) > Microsoft;

8. Rename Edge and Edge Update folders to .old;

9. This procedure will uninstall Microsoft Edge, download it again and install it.

Download the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft...

Google Chrome:

1. Close Google Chrome;

2. Press the Windows + R keys to open the Run Menu;

3. In the Run Menu, type %localappdata%\Google\Chrome and click Ok;

4. Delete the User Data folder.

If it continues, I believe it could be some unavailability. Test again after 24 hours and check the behavior.

Hoping that everything works out for the best. Have a great week!

Can you create a new tab in Microsoft Edge and get to Facebook after you see the issue?

Is your Xbox console connected wireless or via Ethernet cable? Can you use an ethernet cable just for testing purposes?

How exactly do you measure the download speed? Do you use the Xbox internal Edge Browser to go to Speedtest.net (or similar speedtest site)?

Or are you using the network test in the network settings?

Be aware that the edge browser is much more limited than the desktop version of the browsers, and doesn't work well with downloading the test files to measure the speed. So while the network speed might be okay, the handling of the download file in the limited
edge browser might be the bottleneck.

Also if you use the network speed test, the console connects to a server in Seattle in the USA. So check on your PC on the speedtest.net website how your internet speed is, if you connect to a server close to the west coast of the USA (i.e. Seattle, Redmond
and the likes in the Washington state (not to be confused with Washington D.C.)).
