Hot to fix flags error?

Question

There is a problem that does not save when trying to modify edge:///flags.

There is currently a problem with two computers.

Block insecurity private network requests were set to disabled in both units.

If I press relaunch after modification, I will get a home screen instead of a flags screen.

How to fix flags error?

Answer 1

Hi @Park,

Unfortunately, I failed to reproduce this issue on my side. But I can give you some possible workarounds:

1. Go to Control Panel --> Programs --> Programs and Features, right click on Microsoft Edge and select Repair to repair Microsoft Edge.
2. If #1 does not work, create another Edge profile and try to disable the flag in the new profile.
3. If both of the above don't work, let's set this flag using the command line options:

• Close all Microsoft Edge instances first.
• Right click on Microsoft Edge shortcut icon --> Properties --> Shortcut.
• In the "Target" box, add a new command line option: --disable-features=BlockInsecurePrivateNetworkRequests. The result may look like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features=BlockInsecurePrivateNetworkRequests
• Hit "OK"
• Now the flag is set via command line options.

Anyway, regarding the problem of edge://flags, I suggest you send feedback in both Microsoft Edge and Chrome to let Dev Team know about this problem.
