I don't know how you put up with morons like me. Thank you so very much. I was ready to reinstall Windows. I ended up reinstalling Edge. It was in really tiny print below the Edge is already installed message. I clicked on it, and Microsoft reinstalled it. Now I'll reinstall the runtime I mistakenly uninstalled, so I'll be able to view the events from the taskbar on the far left. I don't need your help any further. Thank you so very much for all your extensive advice. You're the best. God bless you.

I'm happy to hear you got it sorted out.
