84.0.480.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) shows error on About screen
- 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.

Hi everyone,
Good news: I just got confirmation from the product team that they are expecting this fix to ship in the next version of Canary! So hopefully, you should see this resolved very soon.
Thanks,

Actually mine updates just fine to each new build. I believe that the %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/EdgeUpdate/MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe runs on a schedule and updates Canary build without any need to download it manually. I did nothing today and my Edge had updated itself to 484.0 just fine (while not in use yet -- perhaps when my computer booted).
So this error seems only to affect the "Check for Updates" that is normally done by opening or refreshing the About page in Settings at edge://help . I don't know if that update method actually works or not, but the MicrosftEdgeUpdate.exe that you posted earlier does work to update without re-running the full installer.
- Thank you, hope that happens before this version ships to Dev channel
