This tutorial will help you reset any metro style application, this includes Cortana and Microsoft Edge

Open Windows Explorer (Windows Key + e)

1. Shortcut: Type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages in the address bar
The folders should be in the format Publisher.Application.ID locate the folder for the application you wish to reset, right click and rename it. I tend to just append .old
Open an elevated powershell prompt (Press Windows Key, type powershell, right click "Windows Powershell" and select Run as Administrator
Type Get-AppxPackage -name "*MicrosoftEdge*" | ForEach { "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" | Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register }
