Re: Has the umrella icon/extension been replaced or scrapped?

Hi, we're not sure what's going on with some users following the latest Windows update losing the Proxy, AdBlock or other extensions, but please follow the below steps to get Epic's core extensions back. 

Here's a breakdown of the steps:

1. Close the Epic browser to ensure that no processes are actively using the user profile files.

2. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the specified path: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Epic Privacy Browser\User Data\Default (replace "user" with your actual username).

3. Within the "Default" folder, locate and delete the following files:

A. Preferences
B. Secure Preferences
These files store user preferences and settings, and deleting them will reset the Epic browser extensions to their default configuration.

4. After deleting these files, you can reopen the Epic browser. It should revert to its default state with default extensions. However, any extensions you installed from the Chrome Web Store or other sources will be removed, and you will need to reinstall them manually.

Remember that performing these steps will reset your browser's extensions settings, but it won't affect your bookmarks, browsing history, or other personal data, as they are typically stored separately in the browser profile folder.
