Quick update here from the team - they're still investigating but have requested some additional information. Even if you've submitted already, if you don't mind submitting again with the new info we'd really appreciate it!
- On edge://support, do you see a Client Id? What is it?
- The list of PMA files, with time stamps. Mainly the count of files and oldest date would be interesting.
- Run these from a cmd prompt and share the results:
- reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v CurrentBuildNumber
- reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection
- reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState /s
- reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientStateMedium /s
- edge://local-state/
- edge://version/?show-variations-cmd
If you could head to edge://policy/ and submit feedback (Alt + Shift + I), check to include the screenshot as well as diagnostic data, attach the information requested above, and add the string "TC0317AR-1010LUO-TMEP908" so we can link it to this issue. If you'd like the team to be able to reach out directly, please check to include your email as well.
