Version number of my Edge browser?

I am running Windows 10 Pro 1903 Build 18362.295. Discover Bank
is telling me that my browser is out of date and I'll be frozen
out after October 15, 2019. They also claim that browsers
Firefox version 30 and above and Google Chrome version 30 and
above are okay. I can't believe that those are newer than my
Edge browser.

How can I find out what version number my Edge is? I've looked
but haven't been able to find it.

Thanks in advance for any help.

There's 3 dots on the upper right. Click. Settings. Scroll down to "About
this app." At least that's what I do.

1. Open an Edge Window.
2. At the far right edge of the line that has the address bar are 3
horizontal dots.
3. Left click on the dots, scroll down until you find the Setting
option. Left click on
Settings.
4. In my installation, the Settings opens to General. If it doesn't
for you, left click
on the gear icon at the top of vertical row of icons at the left edge
of the Settings window.
5. Scroll down to the bottom, and you'll find About this App, which has
the version for me.

Windows 10 Pro 1903

you are probably using the older canary-based edge, which discover
doesn't support (and likely never will).

try the chromium-based edge:

I use the version number from the user agent string, in this case you
get Edge/18. This Edge was released with the previous Win10 (1809).
Maybe MS is getting ready for Chromium Edge.

In the taskbar searchbox, enter "edge". Or use the "Microsoft Edge"
shortcut in the Start Menu's alphebtical list. Or the Start Menu's tile
for Microsoft Edge.

Sounds like you're using Internet Explorer instead, and which is still
supplied in Windows 10.

In Microsoft Edge, go to Menu (3-dot icon at right end of toolbar), Help
and Feedback, What's New. Basically you'll see it has the same build
number as for the OS. That's because, in my setup, Microsoft is still
pushing their EdgeHTML version and has not yet switched me via updates
to their Blink version (Google's engine). Alternatively, go to menu -
Settings - General, and scroll to the bottom which shows the app
version and engine version.

On my Win10 setup, I can't get Internet Explorer to load. iexplore.exe
shows up for a second in Task Manager's Details tab but then disappears.
Found out that I had to run as admin (load an elevated command shell and
run "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore"). Once I got it
loaded, check the version by clicking the gear icon (for settings) and
select About Internet Explorer.

Now that I'm looking at this, I'll go into Control Panel - Programs
- Programs & Features - Turn Windows features on or off, and remove IE
(although that probably just means it won't be accessible, not that it
actually gets removed).


By checking the version when the app/program is loaded, you can
determine if you're using Edge or Internet Explorer.

here are the versions I get

Internet Explorer 11
11-356-18362-0

Edge
44-18362-329-0
HTML-18-18362

Windows 10
version 1903 (OS build 18362.356)

This is up to date as far as I can tell.

Internet Explorer:

Safari:

Chrome:

Firefox:

The bank has a lack of imagination.

The User Agent string of MSEdge is likely "hopelessly bland".
I will go here with my MSEdge and see what kind of calculated lie
it tells.

https://www.whatismybrowser.com/dete...-my-user-agent

What is my User Agent?

Your User Agent is:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18362

I don't really think it matters what version of Edge
you've got, it's likely to return 18362 (the current OS version)
on each query. 18362 is the build number corresponding to W10 1903 release.

https://winaero.com/blog/change-user...icrosoft-edge/

After you change the user agent string to Firefox, you can use the
whatismybrowser site again and see what (decrepit) version of
Firefox it is listing now.

This assumes of course, that MSEdge still supports the feature
claimed to exist on the winaero page...

There is no such choice available.

They're not. I bet the bank just isn't recognising Edge as it is too new
and does match their simple if/else browser check.

Ditch the bank they don't understand software or the internet. I
wouldn't trust them.

You can go to Settings-Apps and find Microsoft Edge there on the Apps
page. Click on Edge and choose "advanced." You'll find the version number
there, as well as data usage and permissions.

Would that be a different bank site that doesn't complain about you
using the latest version of Edge?

No. I called Discover customer service and the guy assured me
that if was Discover that was behind and that Edge was certainly
acceptable. I told him that the writers of the email has wasted
both his time and my time by not saying that in their email.

They sent you an e-mail about which web browsers their site supports?
From your starter post here, I figured the site pushed an alert at you
when you connected your web browser to their site. Sending an e-mail
about which web browser you use with their site smacks of a scam or
severe stupidity. Seems implausible a company would waste the money on
an employee to write up bulk e-mails (which does NOT have guaranteed
delivery) to all their customers when the site itself should be doing
the web browser check.

Getting an e-mail supposedly from my bank telling me which web browsers
to use at their site (that they contract with someone else to build and
maintain) would be, to me, suspicious. None of the banks I've used ever
sent me bulk e-mails about how to use their web site, and before now
I've not heard of anyone else getting such e-mails except as a phish.
