Now update 101.0.1198.0 constantly crashes on startup, even after uninstalling/reinstalling the latest update. I hope this week's update will include a fix for this. It seems to be working fine on my older desktop PC that runs Windows 10, however.

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.
