I have installed Ionic4 beta and tried several starter projects. Each time ionic serve gives a blank (white) browser screen with no build or console errors. No edits have been made to the starter code

I found one solution here [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38679633/ionic-2-ionic-serve-resulting-in-white-blank-page](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38679633/ionic-2-ionic-serve-resulting-in-white-blank-page)

But my app is in the path C:\Users\test\ionic\_app\myApp. My node path C:\Program Files\nodejs .To which folder I will move myApp?

I got the solution.My default browser was Microsoft Edge. In that it was displayed as a blank page.I have changed chrome as default browser,then the home page loads in it.I don’t know why it is like that. If any one know the reason please share it.
