Dev Channel update to 115.0.1880.1 is live
Something is very wrong, it crashes about ~10 seconds after launching. I can't even get to Send Feedback quickly enough to let you know why, or figure out what's causing it myself. Rolling back to 115.0.1866.1 immediately fixed whatever the issue is.
You all really don't make it easy to roll Edge back at all, do you? Had to install a Group Policy (single machine, no domain) that I doubt will actually work to prevent it from updating until the next version rolls around, and run the MSI from an elevated prompt...

From an elevated command prompt or PowerShell window:
msiexec /I .\MicrosoftEdgeDevEnterpriseX64.msi ALLOWDOWNGRADE=1
Now all is well.
- I finally got this method to work.
and then the update to 1880.1 is now working without error.
Not sure what changed on Microsoft side but its working going this route.
Thanks Your rollback instructions are for the Edge Dev Business version. How can we roll back the Consumer version?
Paul_VC no they're not, I have the "Consumer" version installed. The only way to get a "version specific" installer for Edge is from the Business site. Afterwards, you'll have to Win+R, services.msc, and then disable these two to keep it from updating itself to an unusable version.
Also if you open any edge:// URLs like Settings, be prepared for a bunch of UAC prompts to nag you as it attempts to oh my god I need to update myself nownownownow.
I'm this close to setting up a domain controller in a VM just so I can join AD and disable Edge updates...
"Now all is well"
No it isn't, lol
