Canary Edge keep shutting down
I'm using Canary Version 86.0.591.0 and recently the browser would shut down for no reason. It would freeze first and then the not responding message comes up and then shut down. It has been happening too much and want to know what's the issue.
- Seems to be resolved.
in 86.0.594.0 fixed
Marek Belan Thank you for the update. I just updated to 86.0.594.0 and see how it goes. The thing is I went to settings-about Microsoft edge and it updated automatically. I was waiting on the green arrow when it's time for updates.
For me, 86.0.593.0 is crashing more frequently than either 591 or 592. In my case I have two profiles open and the crash will take down both instances. I have had it crash while performing the following actions:
- Clicking on a link within a web page
- Selecting a search result from the URL bar
- Closing a tab
- Changing tabs
- Closing the downloads bar
- Navigating back in the tab history (using back button on mouse)
There might have been other actions that I performed when the crash occurred but hose were what stood out in my memory.
Luke-Kolodziej-OCI check out the new update and see how it goes. I hope it's finally resolved.

Happening to me as well since this morning. On Version 86.0.587.0 of Dev build. Can't do anything, just crashes the browser immediately if I try to go to a link, once I type 3 letters in the address bar it crashes.
- Exactly what I see. I do find, however, that so long as I don't type anything in the address bar it seems more stable...
NashizM Now this gets interesting I'm not experiencing any crashes on dev branch, have you played about with flags at all?
VBartlett1978 Haven't played with any flags. I just tried reinstalling, sadly didn't help, still crashing the same way.
QueenNini Noxillio Marek Belan CrazyKats Looks like issue is fixed on new build so far so good. So if you have not done already you update to 86.0.593.0
First happened to me on 86.0.590.0, seemed to be fixed(? think I still had a few, just less) on last update but now it's happening again on 86.0.592.0. Seems to be tab-related, happens when I close a tab, switch to a different tab, or open a new tab.
Marek Belan It's annoying. Maybe the last updates on Canary are too glitchy.
QueenNini Yep I know what you mean scratch what I said earlier after using this new build the problem still exists, in fact it has got worse it is now happening sometimes on Fullscreen of videos and using the back button. seriously would be nice if somebody from Microsoft would respond to this. So for now I'm off back to dev branch where problem at the mo. does not exist, try again tomorrow I guess.
Fixed on last build now back again on todays newest build 86.0.592.0. This is highly annoying and occurs very randomly sometimes just by clicking on a link on a website. But it is very bizarre to me that it was fixed on the last build but is now back again. A response from the team would be nice, especially if it is something that can just be changed in flags for a quick fix?
VBartlett1978 I'm seeing this also, but can reproduce it every time
by clicking the Refresh.
CrazyKats Is it occurring the same way i.e. as i mentioned by clicking a link on a website? or just a random crash. Also do you have any flags enabled?
VBartlett1978 It's bizarre period. Why would the browser shut down period? I have never had this issue in neither version of Edge. I sent this issue through the Feedback Hub in the browser. Is there an administrator to tag into this post?
QueenNini So i believe in the last few months I have encountered this problem on 5 separate occasions within the last 3 months, each time getting fixed within a build, but its still very bizarre that a problem that gets fixed quickly reoccurs within one build sometimes. Now I'm not an expect and I do fiddle with the flags especially to increase speed and quality. especially as I have the dev branch on my computer as well set up the same and do not encounter the issue. But I'm not convinced its something I have changed the fact that it gets fixed so quickly then the error returns also so quickly, regarding admin unfortunately I could not tell ya, I'm not on here a lot only when I feel I need to be I.e. with this problem and the Fullscreen video problem.
