It seems to be working fine on my older desktop PC that runs Windows 10, however.

EDIT: Found this solution on https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/trodxd/possible_bug_in_the_dev_channel_making_it_unusable/ from Leopeva64-2. It worked for me.

Try this:

Add this command line flag to one of the shortcuts and start Edge Dev from that shortcut:

--disable-features=msHub

Full path:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features=msHub

We've turned off the feature that was causing the crashes, so if you've still got this in your shortcut, you should be able to take it out now and be fine.

I am on the same boat as Dino. The update 101.0.1198.0 constantly crashes on startup on my Windows 11 PC (Build 22581.ni_release.220318-1623)
