How to Reset Chrome or Edge Settings

Restore many browser settings when unwanted changes, extensions, or configuration problems persist.

Quick Answer

Open the browser's Reset settings area and review exactly what will be restored before confirming.

Step by Step

  1. Open the browser and the relevant page or Settings section.
  2. Open the browser's Reset settings area and review exactly what will be restored before confirming.
  3. Test the result before clearing additional data or resetting more settings.
  4. If troubleshooting, try a private window or another browser to help determine whether the problem is browser-specific.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and mobile browsers use different menu names and layouts.
  • Clearing cookies, resetting settings, or removing saved passwords can sign you out or remove conveniences, so review the selected options first.
