    Hi Tony,

    A browser extension is a plug-in that extends the functionality of a web browser. If you are referring to extension manager of Microsoft Edge browser. Follow these steps to add an extension for Microsoft Edge:

    Note:If you don't have the Windows 10 Anniversary Update or later, this option will not be available.

    • Open the Microsoft Edge and type about:flags into the address bar.
    • Select the Enable extension developer features checkbox and then
      restart your browser.
    • Select More (...) to open the menu.
    • Select Extensions from the menu.
    • Select the Load extension button.
    • Navigate to your extension's folder and select the Select folder button.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Cannot install extensions in Edge

    Hi,



    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with installing Extension in Microsoft Edge. I will certainly help you with the issue.

    I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps:


    • Launch your Edge browser and click on the 3-dotted
      More link. You will see an Extensions item.

    • Click on Extensions to open the following panel. Here you will see a
      Get extensions from the Store link.

    • Currently, extensions like Amazon Assistant, Evernote Web Clipper, LastPass, Mouse Gestures, Office Online, OneNote Web Clipper, Page Analyzer, Pinterest Pin It Button, Reddit Enhancement
      Suite, Save to Pocket, Translate for Microsoft Edge, etc., are available for Edge.

    • Clicking on one of them will open the Windows Store page which offers this extension.

    • Click on the
      Free button to install it.

    • To enable the extension, click on
      Turn it on. If you do not want to enable it, click on Keep it off. Once you do this, you will see this entry in the list of extensions installed. Here you see only one as I have installed only one extension.

    • Once the Edge extension is enabled, you will see it added to your panel. Right-clicking on it will offer you two options:

    • Show next to address bar

    • Manage.



    • You can toggle the switch to On/Off position – for the Pin It button as well as for showing it next to the address bar.

    • You will also see buttons that show you more
      Options and one that lets you Uninstall the Edge extension.

    • Clicking on
      Options will show additional settings offered for that plugin in a new browser tab that will open automatically.

    • Clicking on
      Uninstall will uninstall the Edge extension.

    • The settings and options available for each extension, will of course differ.

    Hope this information helps.



    Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help.
