Several browsers are displayed on the desktop of my Windows ten computer. This problem never happened during the years I have had this desk top, but suddenly different websites have the same malfunction -on some browsers- but not on others.

If I go to this site, to my employers site to get my schedule, or to Utube, on Microsoft Edge - that slider thing on the right of the screen fails to appear. And since it fails to appear I cant scroll down, or up, and thus cant really use the site.

Also my desk top has the symbol that enables me to go directly to Utube. But Utube has the same problem when go to it direct -that way-also.

But everything (this,employer, Utube) functions normally (with the slider thing) on Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Avast.

So what is going on? Whats causing all sites to be defective on Edge, and Utube to be defective when I go directly to it by clicking the Utube sign on the desktop (rather than going to it via the other browers that are not Edge)?

From similar experience and from conversations with techies in a couple hobby groups, I'm expecting it is a clash or glitch in coding of some updates somewhere, either in the browser, the website, or both.

Sometimes it might also be involved with a browser add on such as a script blocker.
