Canary and now Dev are unusable
- Nov 11, 2021Oh, also passing on a workaround that may help in the interim! You may have Accessibility Features enabled unexpectedly; turning off the Windows 10 "Text cursor indicator" might get you back up and running as expected, for example. Eric Lawrence (a Principal on the Edge team who wrote this blog) suggested it might help short term if you'd like to take a look and try the workarounds. https://textslashplain.com/2021/10/12/accessibility-uia-troubleshooting/

This was posted yesterday, so I do want to confirm if you're still seeing this with today's Canary update. If you're still seeing crashes but able to open the browser, can you try opening an In Private window and see if the crashes occur with the same behaviors?

Writing this from Beta Edge as it is still stable to use as it has not been updated with Canary or Dev's latest updates... Have sent in new logs for both Canary and Dev as both are still crashing. Feedbacks are labeled "Canary Crashing" and "Dev Crashing" for each browser... Thanks for looking into this so quickly........
Let me know if you need anything further...

Anything you do in Canary crashes it, even with todays update, Version 97.0.1072.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit). Clicking the link in the email notice I received about your reply to this thread crashed it. Also, Canary and Dev are not loading the startup pages assigned to them when you start them. They both load the the new tab page.
If you do nothing and just start the browser it stays up. but as soon as you do anything, ie, reply to any threads, click a link, switch tabs.. all crash the browser. I am using beta edge right now as it is not crashing. Also just sent in another feedback for the email link crash....
Dennis5mile- Alexandra-RNov 11, 2021MicrosoftThank you! I've gotten this in front of the team and they confirmed this is a known Chromium bug relating to accessibility features. The fix is set to go out tomorrow with Canary 1073, so if you could let me know if you're still hitting this tomorrow after you get the update (and drop a new crash report if you do still encounter it) I'll follow up with the team!
- Dennis5mileNov 11, 2021Silver ContributorWill do and thanks for the prompt attention and looking forward to the fix.
