When it comes to keeping Edge secure and up to date, timing can be essential. We want to make sure that when updates become available, you get a clear and immediate notification during your browsing experience. With this experience, we want to reduce the time that updates remain pending. Just select the
Browser Essentials icon to get the update.
Don’t wait and let pending updates linger. Update your Microsoft Edge when you get the notification. Just open
Browser Essentials and select
Restart now.

What if I’ve unpinned Browser essentials from my toolbar?
If you’ve unpinned Browser essentials, don’t worry. Microsoft Edge will still notify you when your action is needed. When an update is available for Microsoft Edge, the Browser essentials icon will reappear to let you know there’s a new update.
After the latest updated Microsoft Edge version is applied, Edge respects your request to unpin Browser essentials from the toolbar. The Browser essentials icon won’t appear until the next update is available.
