An error occurred while checking for updates: We couldn't create that component (error code 3: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2068169&0x80040154). Version 84.0.480.0 (Official build) canary ...
- Thanks but it was always an option for everyone at any time, not new to this.
this problem is fixed in the next Canary updates. also the updater works using these methods which is even better than the normal updater since user can set it to check for updates automatically every hour or every minute.

sequence in elevated CMD - Register key "Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate"
and folder location:
