Edge Extension doesn't block any ads

I just installed the Edge extension, but it doesn't block any ads, even if I disable useful ads and add additional filters to the default (English and German) ones. I also haven't installed Adguard for Windows, just the Edge extension. No 3rd party antivirus installed, just Windows Defender.

No matter what website I visit, I always get all the ads, and the extension always displays 0 ads blocked:



What am I missing?

 

Windows 10 Pro
Version 1607
Build 14393.693

Edge 38.14393.0.0

Should all be up-todate.

 

Thanks for your answer.

I had the (default?) English and German filters installed, and added the one that's supposed to block annoying stuff like Cookie notices and popups.

Since my last post I uninstalled and reinstalled the Adguard extension, which made it worse. Now it not only doesn't block any ads, but it also opens the welcome page anytime I start Edge, and it also doesn't save any changes in the settings anymore.

 

Do you know where the settings of Edge extensions are stored? I'd like to try deleting them. Or is everything removed anyway when I uninstall the extension? Or is there a manual way to delete extensions that's more thorough maybe? I'm wondering if the problem is caused by residues of other adblockers I had used before.

Remote access is certainly possible. I have the next few days off, so any time is fine. I'm on Central European Time.

 

So, to wrap this thread up: Thanks for helping me in the remote session!

I reset Edge using this procedure and now everything works fine. So it was a misconfigured Edge browser after all.
