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.

  • 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.
