Maybe you would try this:
Remove Dev from your machine. Go grab https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download for it, anew and re-install it, please. Report back afterwards, of course. Thanks. 🤞 Hey, it's worth a shot...
It's ironic the timing... I had just earlier tonight put this in a couple of other MS Tech Forums where I write...I often wonder if people realize Snips can be done right from Snip & Sketch's 'commands' on its jumplist; don't, even have to go to/open its window.Speaking of jumplists... for so many things, their jumplists offer 'commands' that one can often work directly with/from an item's jumplist. Rt Clk on various apps & browsers (try Twitter for example) and, if you haven't already, discover all that your jumplists offer you.
Cheers,
