On my new pavilion 15-ec2004nv gaming laptop the only web browser that works is microsoft edge.
Chrome, firefox and opera don t work. They don t even start.
I 've tried to uninstall and reinstall the programmes but nothing happens.
I 've read solutions in the internet but nothing works.
Only if I rename the chrome.exe or firefox.exe file the programmes launch....
Please could you help me resolve the issue. Is it a bug from HP?
Is any other programm or setting prevent those browsers from running?
Why only edge works?
Thank you.

Did you actually install them ? I know Microsoft is trying to block users to use other browsers only MS Edge; but that may cause many storms therefore you still can use other browsers
