Hi Kelly

Thank you so much for your reply, and take in consideration my "issue". The thing is , a couple of days, I tried in Microsoft Edge Dev , 147.0.3890.0 , in same system, same user account , and the flicker desktop icons, when Edge Dev , close , does not happen.. 🤔 I appreciate your suggestion but is not a solution , to the bug . ,after a few Edge stable build updates , this behavior still persist . 146.0.3856.84 (Official build) (64-bit) , the bug continue .

all the best

Hi EDIMicrosoft - You are correct, if you are using version 146.0.3856.84, the bug will still reproduce.

You will need to be on versions 147.0.3912.0 and above to have the fix. Thanks!
