84.0.480.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) shows error on About screen
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 (64-bit)
I tried completely uninstalling Edge Canary and reinstalling it. Still shows this Error on About screen, although it seems to run fine.
- 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,
thanks, that really saved me some time knowing that uninstall/reinstall won't fix it because so far I tried restarting computer and changing some network settings but none of them worked 🙂- By the way I just finished installing and testing Edge canary Version 84.0.480.0 on Windows Sandbox which is a clean fresh OS and the problem still happened.
so this proves that the problem is not caused by any previous installations or left over files malfunctioning.
I think when Microsoft fixes this in the next update and puts it on their servers, we all have to reinstall our Edge canary because the connection between updater and server is interrupted.
another thing is that on the support page there is no mention of "error 3".

Probably the next Canary update will simply auto-update as usual, without issue. If not, running the Installer without uninstalling it will probably work as they suggest.
