If the popup blocker is not working after enabling, try these solutions:
- Make sure Microsoft Edge is up to date: Select Settings and more > Settings > About Microsoft Edge . If there is an update available, you can apply it from here.
- Scan your device for malware: For more, see Stay protected with Windows Security.
- Disable your extensions: See if an extension is getting in the way. Select Settings and more > Extensions, then select the switch to the right of each extension to disable it. If popups are being blocked after this, re-enable them one at a time to determine which one is causing the issue.
- Block third-party cookies: To do this, select Settings and more > Settings > Site permissions > Cookies and site data. Then, ensure Block third-party cookies is set to On.
- Clear your browser cache: For more, see View and delete browser history in Microsoft Edge.
