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.

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.

so if i modify task scheduler to check for updates hourly instead of daily ill be fine too 🙂

No i was talking about the tasks that are created automatically in Windows Task scheduler. if you set them to run once and then in the advanced settings of trigger tab set it to run hourly indefinitely you won't need to worry about the update anymore.

It's correctly ?
