Default Edge has fallen off the edge

My Edge icon seems to have fallen off the taskbar. I tried unlocking
the taskbar and dragging it back, to no avail. Any ideas how to
restore Edge to its rightful position?

To my mind, not being on the taskbar *is* the correct place for it, but
click Start, type edge, right click on the search result for Edge and
pin to taskbar ...

Thanks. Tried that but I only got 'Unpin from taskbar' so it thinks
it's there already. Bizarrely, there is a grey area with no icon.that
leads to Edge. I tried unpinning it and repinning it but to no avail.

Panic over. A restart has restored it. Don't know what's going on.
It took ages to shut down claiming there was another user when I don't
think there was!.

As far as I'm concerned, Edge's rightful position is in the garbage
can. Of all the available browsers I've tried, I think it's the worst.

Sorry. That was me. You had some files I wanted to check out.

Edge does look less "full of junk" than MSIE. However, I seldom use
either and prefer Firefox.

Edge (the default MSFT browser) is an excellent choice. There are a
couple of early stage problems (like remembering where it left off
last time) but it's improving. It's quick to open and doesn't get in
the way of presenting the web pages. And doesn't seem to crash very
often.

I never use either, but I prefer IE to Edge. Like you, I prefer
FireFox.

Each to his own. I don't want to get into an argument over this, so
suffice it to say that I completely disagree.

This is a side effect of how Microsoft does updates.

Any time the machine, portions of the interface are frozen,
things are going goofy... do a reboot. I've had a few occasions
where this seems to be Windows Update at work, and rather than
wait for a safe time to do stuff, it's fiddling with live software
in such a way as to break it. It's supposed to be using PendMoves
and only changing files during the reboot.

And the reboot resolves the issue, and everything should work again.

If the update actually failed, and the updates are in a loop,
there are other possible outcomes. We don't want to think
about what the worst case could be. It hasn't happened yet,
but some day, it will.

Seconded.
