Resetting your browser solves many Internet problems. Often problems with web pages, email, and video can be caused by corruption or malware in the browser itself. Resetting the browser may be a simple solution to a number of problems. Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox are the browsers most commonly used in Windows today.
While Resetting your browser often solves the problems it is not fix everything. If this did not solve the problem and the system has been scanned for viruses the issue may require more advanced diagnostics. Operating system and software issues, hardware defects, or failures may be the cause. If you still need help, give us a call.
