I tried the Fixes in the threads but they did not work,
Is it posible for you to make 115.0.1880.2 that works.
Thanks, Neil
- This version is crashing after a few seconds... 😞
- After removing MS Edge dev from the apps and reinstall from the site it is working, only missing the nice, rounded tabs... Luckily all profiles were kept 😉
- Rounded corner feature does not work in the new version
- Also in version 115.0.1866.1 there was a problem with the devtools that could not be moved and there are no more close and minimizing icons
Update: Our engineers are currently investigating the problem regarding Dev/Canary not rendering properly or crashing. A fix has been implemented and it appears to have resolved the issue for some users. However, we understand that there are still individuals encountering this problem. If the current workaround provided here is not effective for you, please follow these steps:
- Close all instances of "msedge.exe" by killing the processes.
- Add the following command line argument to the "msedge.exe" executable: "msedge.exe --disable-features=msEnhancedTextContrast".
- Launch the browser again.
- In the address bar, enter "edge://flags/#edge-enhance-text-contrast".
- Select either "default" or "disable".
Hi Jeremiah-V,
the --disable-features=msEnhancedTextContrast didn§t work in my case. So I used it with --disable-gpu and Edge works. But strange is that EDGE works now without any additional startup parameters.
I have added --disable-features=msEnhancedTextContrast to the target in the short cut.
Now I face just having a Blank Black Screen when opening Edge DEV.
The issue I have with edge-enhance-text-contrast is that Hardware Acceleration is on.
I can have that flag set to enable and disable my hardware acceleration and everything works fine.
But the moment I enable hardware acceleration it will stop working and get a black screen.
Might want to pass this info on to the engineering team as well too.
- On one of my laptops, I'm also getting the black screen problem. This is an older laptop with both Intel integrated graphics and an Nvidia P500. Neither of the GPU options work; both give me a black screen. The --disable-gpu and the --no-experiments command line options don't work either and I get a black screen either way. The "Uninstall" option in the Settings app and Control Panel doesn't work, because the Edge uninstaller uses Edge, which cannot render the window. Where is the settings file stored? That's the only way I can see to disable the offending flag, because the command line options just don't work.
This black screen problem was reported in Canary last week and was never truly fixed. Whatever experiment with GPU acceleration is being done here needs a rework, because it's clearly breaking installs without effective workarounds. - I have all PWA installed with dev, not works anymore. 😞
- Latest was crashing for me after a few seconds as well. Uninstall and reinstall seems to have fixed it.
Just found the problem that makes the window completely blank, which is the flag "Enhance text contrast".
If you have this problem, you can create a shortcut and add ' --no-experiments' to the end of the path in the target field, and you can open Edge with no problem with the shortcut.
Afterwards, you can disable that "Enhance text contrast" flag from edge://flags/, and then everything should be back to normal now.- THANK YOU!!!
- Yup, turning this off fixed it for me. I ran edge through the terminal with the '--no-experiments' flag and the UI came back, though my rounded tabs disappeared. No amount of fiddling seems to turn it back on. Turned off the Enhanced text contrast flag as well. Hoping for a permanent fix soon.
