Help does not work - opens empty browser window
Hi all,
Just upgraded to ATI 2018 from 2017, and have it on two Win10 machines. When I try using the Help and Support option to "Open Help", all that happens is that Edge opens up with a blank page. The file it's trying to open is at
file:///C:/Users/{MyName}/AppData/Local/Temp/Acr29A1.tmp.html
To be honest it's not a critical problem. I can use the online documentation instead, but it would be good to have it working as it should.
Does anyone else experience this, and what can I do to put it right?

Thanks, Steve. I have tried a repair install but still get the same problem. I think it could be that the Help pages are not compatible with Edge.
If I open the file at file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Acronis/TrueImageHome/Help/help/en/index.html#35899.html in any browser other than Edge, it works OK. In Edge, no luck.
My guess is that the %temp% file I mentioned is meant to just redirect to the main help page, but again, is failing because Edge doesn't like it.
Wonder whether I can change the default browser so that ATI doesn't try to open Edge.

Yep - that was it. I changed the default browser to Chrome, and now the Help pages open up OK.
I'll report the issue to Acronis.

Thanks for the feedback Martin, have to admit that I do not use Edge - my own default browser is Chrome.
