New Edge Icon

Features

Edge's functionality and design remain mostly the same. A few new key features have been added to to enhance the web browsing experience such as Immersive Reader, Custom Start Page Styles and Custom Accessibility Settings

 

How the rollout will occur:

  • On-campus computer users will automatically receive this update.
  • Remote workers that connect to an on-campus computer will automatically receive this update.
  • Remote laptop users will need to log into the UConn VPN to receive the update. Please stay connected to the VPN for half an hour in order to receive the update. The Edge icon will change once the update is complete.
