## 🛠️ Troubleshooting on Windows

### "SortPin extension not installing on Edge"

Edge fully supports Chrome extensions. If installation fails:

1. Enable Chrome extensions in Edge: **Settings → Extensions → Allow extensions from other stores**
2. Retry install

### "Download blocked by Windows Defender"

Windows Defender rarely flags SortPin (it's a Chrome Web Store verified extension). If blocked, add exception in **Windows Security → Virus & threat protection**.

### "Chrome download always asks folder"

Go to Chrome → Settings → Downloads → toggle **OFF** "Ask where to save each file".

### "SortPin icon missing after install"

Click 🧩 puzzle piece in toolbar → 📌 pin SortPin. See: [How to Pin Extension](/faqs/how-to-temporarily-disable-sortpin.com-extension-info.md)
