Windows 10 and Edge

here is another possibility

I thought MS had ditched Edge.

Yes. They replaced it with Edge.

ok, the new Edge is based on Chromium.

My wi-fi connection had problems after a windows update yesterday. The Wi-fi would connect to the router and the router to other equipment via Wi-fi without problems but the win10 laptop complained about no internet connection. It was a wi-fi network problem as hard wiring a Ethernet connection between the laptop and router allowed Internet access.

Fix (for me): highlight the wi-fi connection symbol in the right bottom corner of the screen.

One option on the pop-up should be "Network and Internet settings" - click on this. This should open the Network status window in settings.

Click on the Network Troubleshooter option

Win10 did a diagnostic, asked me if I wanted a fix and then shut down On restarting the Internet via wi-fi was available gain.

My WiFi was fine - it was links in emails that would not even open the browser and website that was the problem.
