Solved How do you update extensions in ms edge

[ugatme53]

Hey all. Lovin the new edge browser but am a bit confused with the extensions. I installed several from the chrome store but but don't get how to update them, is it an automatic process? For example I have Lastpass version 4.40.2 but I see version 4.41 is available but only option is to remove from chrome.
Thanx for your help.

Are you using Win 10? If you are, you might post at tenforums.com.

You can use it in W7. Did you know that the Chromium Edge is available for Windows 7/8/8.1/10 and macOS?

It says that Edge Extensions are updated automatically, via the Store you obtain them.

For example I have Lastpass version 4.40.2 but I see version 4.41 is available but only option is to remove from chrome.

What do you see if you select Settings > Extensions (or open the page edge://extensions)? I would expect the option to update would be displayed there when a newer version is available (and not displayed if an extension is up to date).

Thanks for the information.

Visit the Chrome Store again, and go to the Lastpass store page. Has the "Install" button changed to an "Update" button?

Still shows up as remove at chrome store

And what does it say if you type edge://extensions into the address bar?

 

[ugatme53]

Yeah, finally updated to 4.41

Yeah, finally updated to 4.41

How? Was it automatic? Or did Edge notify you that an update was available? Or something else?

 

[ugatme53]

Totally automatic, just checked details and there it was.

Thanks, good to know. I asked because I've not yet had an extension that needed an update.
