Other Windows 10...Edge and IE not working (Rant)

I have a 'LinxL ight 10' I got from Sainsburys 13 months ago (out of warranty)
Windows 10 was "upgraded" to 1607 version by Microsoft.
Since then nether Edge or IE work so i cant even get on line.
The tablet only has 16gb and thats nearly full, so i cant reset the thing.
Btw, it was working perfect till 1607.

So who do i go to to try and sort it out
Sainsbury as the seller.
Linx for selling it with only 16gb.
Microsoft for 'upgrading' it to 1607
Or do i give it to a shop to sort out for me


I know many people are having many problems since 1607 came alone, and im one of them !

What do you think.


"Rant over"

 

For IE try removing it using 'turn windows features on/off' and then turning it back on.

For Edge first delete everything in -

Code:

%UserProfile%/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Restart, then in an elevated command prompt/powershell then run this:

Code:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}

If that doesn't work you you straight up can't be bothered - You should be able to reset using a USB drive made with the media creation tool...

 

Delete both install Opera mini. This is what I would do if it where my device. Best of luck to you either way!

The option is also run an alternative browser of choice from SD/USB, but a problem with IE usually means problems elsewhere in windows too.

 

This is a DHCP issue. Assign the tablet a static IP on your network and all will be fine again. Microsoft messed up DHCP in that update. Once you're online again, it'll be able to download the next update which fixes it.

 

Completely forgot about that little... hiccup...

 

Im typing this on the affected Linx.
All sorted and working as new.
It did indeed turn out to be a DHCP issue.
Edge, IE, Opera now work fine.
Now im a happy bunny
Thank you all.

 

I had nothing but issues with DHCP but changing to Google DNS seems to have fixed things for me

 

That's weird, given that DHCP is local and Google DNS is external. I can't see how that would help anything locally related.

Oops. Way to bump a thread. Sorry all!
