My computer just switched itself over from Windows 7 to Windows 10. With it Internet Explorer was replaced with Microsoft Edge. The Yahoo e-mail basically freezes on starting. It still works in Mozilla and Chrome.
Use Internet Explorer? It's still there. Click the search icon or type in the search box INTERNET... explorer should pop up. Right click, pin to taskbar.

Does anyone know a fix?
Yes. Continue to use Mozilla or Chrome and don't waste your time with Edge.
Chrome doesn't work properly in windows 10. When I try to do a search it seems to search in Yahoo? Weird. I have ad blocker plus on chrome, worked great. Can't put it on Edge. It says my printer is disconnected now, what a mess.
You have to update Chrome to 64-bit version. It seems to work fine for me. I have only tried Edge for a couple of things. Not impressed.
As for search options, you may need to go back to "Internet Options" and re-configure default Home Page and default Search Options.
If you came from Win 7, there is a bit of a learning curve with Win 10. If coming from win 8/8.1, the learning curve is not so bad, but still a bit of a PiA
Thank you Lars. Your comments gave me the courage to dig into this thing a bit, on the order or what you said, and I've got everything running like a little sewing machine!
Thanks. I hope for more comments since while well-intentioned these comments dont give a real fix. I am surprised that no one at Microsoft and/or Yahoo has tackled this mess. Or Edge's lack of a menu bar.
The "fix" is to not use Edge. It's just Internet Exploder with a new dress.
Here, you probably have a lot of people who noticed similar issues, and went for the work-around. (Use Chrome or Firefox)
Post your question on the Microsoft Forum where all the MS developers hang out. THEY might be able to come up with a "real fix."
It's certainly NOT IE with a new dress. It would be if IE's DNA was completely decompiled and rebuilt into a new person.
It has nothing in common with IE.
And it actually isn't too bad and does many things better then IE / Chrome and FF.
