My issues with Comcast and Edge have been resolved.  About a week ago my PC crashed and I could not access my HD to repair it or restore a backup.  I bit the bullet and did a clean install of Win 10 and re-installed all my software.  All my files were on a different HD and loss of documents and pictures was not an issue.  As soon as I finished the re-install I checked my Comcast email using Edge.  Worked fine.  My Win 7 OS  had some issues with certain programs and web sites and I never had much luck with IE 11.  What I believe now is that a clean install and not an upgrade to Win 10 is the way to go.  You avoid all the problems caused by your old settings and issues being carried forward to the new OS.  Also, it appears that Comcast has made some changes to their web site.  All the people who said to hold off on upgrading to Win 10 were right.  I made the mistake of upgrading an old PC to test drive Win 10.  It worked so well on that PC that I made the mistake of upgrading two more including my main PC.  Now I am holding off on two more until I am sure that I can make the transition without getting a headache. ...

You can use more than one browser without causing a problem.  I use Firefox and it works fairly well with Comcast email.  At some point, Comcast may fix the problem.  Until then, just use Chrome or FireFox for email.  A few days ago, the Boston Globe finally changed its ereader and I can now read the Globe on MS Edge. I personally think that Comcast does not provide enough effort to make their email perform as well as it could. ... View more

If you are using Edge and cannot connect to Comcast email after signing in, I resolved my issue by using FireFox as my default browser.  I can't advise you how to fix it as I cannot figure out why Edge works fine on 2 out of 3 PC's that I upgraded.  While using Edge, I suggest that you check out all other sites that you use and you may find that it is not only a Comcast email problem.  You may experience printing, mouse, and downloading at some sites.  ...

My PC with Edge problems has the following components:  Gigabyte GA-990 FXA-UD3 Mobo, AMD FX 8120 Eight-Core Processor, 16 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Win 10 Pro 64 Bit, and a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500 GB SATA HD.  This is 2013 technology.  The two others, one a laptop and the other a desktop, are 2009 technology.  The difference between the 2009 and 2013 is the upgrade from Win 7 Ultimate vs Win 7 Pro.  The 2013 with the Edge problems had issues with IE11, Adobe Reader, printing issues with a HP printer, MS MSE, and several other problems.  I suspected the problem started with MS Security Essentials when an upgrade went wrong and I could not upgrade, uninstall or re-install.  That caused me to use the free Comcast Norton Internet Security.  I routinely used Malwarebytes and upgraded to the paid version.  I believe the Norton and Malwarebytes programs had conflicts.  At times, I had to turn off features of both to install a program or upgrade.  Bottom line - Don't know why 2 work and 1 does not.  Hope I answered your question. ...

I disagree that Edge does not work in Win 10.  The first desktop PC that I upgraded had issues with printer, mouse/keyboard and video drivers/software.  Edge worked fine and still does. The next upgrade was to a laptop and that went much better and Edge worked fine.  Third upgrade was a desktop, my primary PC, and Edge did not work. Just went back to using Firefox and it works fine.  This PC has issues with other sites as well when using Edge.  Can't explain why it works on some PC's and not others.  This same PC had issues in Win 7 using IE11.  That is when I started using Firefox and installed Chrome just in case. As for the other two that can use Edge without problems, I was using IE10 in Win 7 on both and was forced to upgrade to IE11 to install Win 10. Bottom line, if Edge does not work, use Firefox or Chrome. ... View more

I have the same problem.  I maintain 3 browsers on my PC because of issues with Windows IE 11 in the past.  I checked Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and IE 11 and the only one that did not access mail was the Edge browser. I would recommend Firefox as your default browser until someone finds a fix for this problem. ... View more
