The dev tools window for Microsoft Edge currently looks like this on my system:
This has worked before. I don't know why and when exactly this change happened.
I'm on Windows 10.0.14393 and Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0.
The dev tools for Internet Explorer 11.953.14393.0 are still functional.
Any ideas?
I opened the devtools in InPrivate-Mode, unfortunately they were empty there too. But after about 5 min they appeared all by themselves :D And now the devtools are working in the normal Tabs also. Magic.
I had the same problem. Solved by going to https://www.microsoft.com/edge . Downloaded edge setup and reinstalled it. Then the DevTools started to work again
From the left sidebar, select the Apps & Features option. Select Advanced options for the Microsoft Edge browser application from the list. Click the button labeled "Repair" at the bottom. You can also try resetting the browser by clicking the Reset button if the problem persists.
f the Microsoft Edge Engineer Devices window stays clear or shows no happy, there could be a few purposes behind this issue. You can try the following troubleshooting steps to fix the issue:
Update Microsoft Edge: Ensure you are utilizing the most recent rendition of Microsoft Edge. Refreshes frequently incorporate bug fixes and enhancements that can determine similarity issues with the Designer Instruments.
Start up Microsoft Edge again: Restart Microsoft Edge after closing all instances. In some cases, a basic restart can determine impermanent errors.
Clear Program Store: Any corrupted or out-of-date data that might be causing the problem can be eliminated by clearing the browser's cache. To clear the cache, navigate to the browser's settings and select either the "Clear browsing data" or "Clear cache" option.
Turn off Extensions: Developer Tools functionality may be compromised by some browser add-ons or extensions. Disable any extensions you have installed for a short time, then check to see if the Developer Tools window starts showing content.
Check the settings of Developer Tools: To access the settings, open the Developer Tools and select the gear icon or menu with three dots. Check to see that "Enable CSS" and "Enable JavaScript" are both turned on.
In my case, there was some (still unknown to me) user setting that was causing this issue. Deleting the user Preferences file in the Profile directory (which can be found by navigating to edge://version and searching for the profile path) worked for me.
Sometimes, the Edge Developer Tools window appears blank. One is probably due to a combination of problems. The following are the steps to fix that problem.
That requires fully closing it, then opening it completely. Then try using Developer Tools by pushing F12 or Control + Shift + I on the keyboard.
Tap on the three dots menu on the top right corner of Edge settings.
Navigate to Settings > Search, Privacy, and Services > Clear browsing history.
Tap Cached images and files and Cookies and other site data.
Tap Clear Now and restart Edge to test if Developer Tools work
Some extensions may be a hindrance to the Developer Tools.
To disable them go to Edge settings > Extensions.
Disable all extensions, then try opening the Developer Tools window from Edge.
Sometimes other software might be intercepting or blocking the opening of the Developer tools.
Try closing and disabling your antivirus. Otherwise, configure your antivirus so that it does not affect the Developer tools for the time being.
Go to the Edge Settings > select the reset settings > click on the restore settings to its original settings.
This will only revert the browser settings while it will also remove your bookmark and other credentials like passwords, etc.
The setting for Developer Tools may be misplaced
Open Edge, access developer tools by pressing F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I and right click in that window. Click on the settings.
Verify that the Dock side is not set to undocked and may cause display issues
Click to get to Settings > About Microsoft Edge and verify that Edge is really updated
Older updates may include bugs with your Developer Tools
Open Edge in order to test if a problem exists in your active profile.
Open Settings > Profiles > Add profile, then switch to the new profile to see if Developer Tools work.
If none of these work out, then uninstall and reinstall Edge. So that it's a browser copy that you haven't meddled with- just pure defaults.
Removing Edge through Control Panel-or even the new Settings
Download Latest version directly from the websites.
That is all hopefully fixed a blank Developer Tools window in Microsoft Edge. Well if this is not the solution then well possibly at the root cause is something amiss or may be there's a bug, and hence forth this would mean something to be looked up for in Microsoft's support.
