84.0.480.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) shows error on About screen
- Apr 14, 2020Thanks 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.

Thank you for this nice update ![]()
Excellent! I'm glad that you all are starting to see this fix. I can confirm that it shipped today!
(If you aren't seeing it yet, please be advised that different machines may update at different times, but we expect everyone on Canary to be good to go by tomorrow!)

The updater worked on its own and I am updated to build 485. Can confirm that the issue is resolved now!
This was a great adventure!

Check a few posts up for a way that works. It basically runs the updater, as is done each day via Task Scheduler, but lets you do it at any time. Yours could be set to run at some specific hour of the day, so it will eventually update on its own. Mine did.Try closing Edge Canary and running this (I don't know if you actually have to close Edge):
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe /c
- Rohit YadavApr 14, 2020Bronze ContributorNot received the update here also. Tried PC restart, cmd method. Since my previous build auto updated, I will wait again till I get updated to build 485...
- Dennis5mileApr 14, 2020Silver ContributorThanks. I'm just waiting to see if it will update without having to install ontop of current version..
