Windows 10 and Accessing MLS

If you are accessing MLXchange or Fusion from Windows 10, make sure you are using the Internet Explorer

browser rather than the new Edge browser. The icons look a lot alike, but they act differently. We have gotten several calls on this as more members upgrade. Did you know that Windows 10 automatically defaults to Edge Browser?
To access using Internet Explorer, you will need to:

Type "Internet Explorer" into the search the web and Windows search bar on bottom left of your home screen.
From there, you can right click on Internet Explorer and select: Pin to taskbar. Internet Explorer should now show up below on taskbar.
For more tips on making your PC more MLS friendly, see our Tech Tips on accessing MLS with Windows 7, 8 and now 10 at this link.
