MicrosoftDev channel update to 79.0.309.11 is live
UPDATE: We pushed another update, which now brings the build number to 79.0.309.11.
UPDATE: We just pushed an update, which now brings the build number to 79.0.309.7.
Hello insiders, today we’re releasing build 79.0.309.5 to the Dev Channel! You may notice that this is only one build away from last week’s Dev, and that’s because this is our candidate for our next Beta release, so we want to make sure it’s extra polished before we release it there. However, that also means it’s a pretty light week this week in terms of notable changes.
We do have one known issue right now, where Edge sometimes launches to a blank white window. There are two possible causes. If you launch another window and it’s fine, you shouldn’t ever see the issue again. However, if subsequent windows are also blank, you’ll have to disable Application Guard in order to get Edge back into a working state. We plan on releasing another update later this week in order to get us in sync with Chromium’s Beta, so the fix for that cause should be in the updated build.
- Fixed a crash when logging into the browser.
- Fixed an issue where typing in the address bar sometimes causes the browser to crash.
- Fixed an issue where the browser sometimes crashes after completing the first run experience.
- Fixed a hang during the first run experience.
- Fixed an issue where the theme sometimes changes unexpectedly after the first run experience.
- Fixed some issues with Application Guard windows not successfully opening.
- Disabled hardware acceleration in Application Guard windows to prevent them from hanging on certain machines.
- Fixed an issue where certain webpages don’t open in Application Guard windows even though they should.
- Fixed an issue where files that should be downloaded in Application Guard windows aren’t.
- Fixed an issue where an extra “Work” browser profile gets automatically created for some users (note that this may not remove the extra profile; a future fix will ensure that).
- Fixed an issue where the Mac Touch Bar sometimes doesn’t show the proper content.
- Fixed an issue where the Settings page constantly shows “looking for updates” without ever completing.
- Fixed an issue where certain settings are changeable even when they’re disabled.
- Fixed an issue where certain settings that are supposed to be enabled by default are disabled after performing a settings reset.
- Fixed an issue where the Delete button does not appear next to downloads that have been blocked by SmartScreen.
- Fixed an issue where the warning not to close the browser because a download is in progress appears even though the user isn’t downloading anything.
- Fixed an issue where websites that are blocked by SmartScreen aren’t removed from history.
- Improved scrolling behavior on the new tab page.
- Fixed some issues with the PDF toolbar’s hiding behavior.
- Fixed an issue where switching between IE mode tabs and non-IE mode tabs leaves webpages at the wrong zoom level on certain devices.
- Fixed an issue where no sites open in IE mode tabs when a certain combination of IE mode policies is applied.
- Fixed an issue where tooltips in Collections all say “collection content” instead of the actual content.
- Fixed an issue where certain print preview content is hard to read in dark theme.
We’ll be back to normal next week, and it’s also Ignite! Will we see any of you there? In the meantime though, thanks to everybody who’s been using Edge and telling us everything you do and don’t like about it.

Dev version and new beta version both NG
Well this issue is not solve by now at least for me.
Same old, same oldDual icon on taskbarThe one with tasks is from start menuThis is today
- The worst thing is that the devs are probably not aware of this issue about missing taskbar items and not tracking this bug
Interesting, I just noticed that, in version 79.0.309.7, Microsoft added the "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents" flag to the Dev channel:
In the previous version (79.0.309.5), the flag doesn't appear:
In Canary, Microsoft added that flag only until version 80.0.317.1. I wonder if, after the success and the good reception that the flag had on the Canary channel, Microsoft decided to release that small update on the Dev channel just to add that flag.

Leo, I use/like Dark Mode. This will fit in nicely after, I take a couple of minutes to get used to it
But, seriously, it's pretty cool
and the continuity is great, indeed. I do like it, though.
And, yes, it is available for Dev AND it IS available for Canary. This is current Canary
NB: Sometimes some bits of text can't be seen, though... and that can present a wee problem. However, things like that CAN be made show with a little cleverness with highlighting, can make those visible.
Cheers,
Drew- This kind of dark mode is still forced.
the type of dark mode that website developers design and present it to the users based on their browser theme is far more better. one of those sites doing this is windowscentral
my Dev just got updated to, "Version 79.0.309.11 (Official build) dev (64-bit)"

And that makes our third dev update in a week. I don't see notable changes in .11, but I haven't looked particularly carefully.
I'm curious what version the new release candidate / beta channels are on: same 79.0.309.11 like dev?
If so, I'm surprised the release candidate won't have history syncing: judging by the sync issues we've seen so far, you'd think history syncing would need a lot more testing (between Android <-> PC <-> iOS <-> MacOS).
- On which website?

Hmmm, yet, strangely enough (in that case), I have it and w/ no flag, (that doesn't exist).Microsoft Edge
Microsoft Edge is up to date.Version 79.0.309.7 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
Cheers,

- It is also updated to the same version with the dev channel.
- Good, especially the ones that installed the stable version of Edge, can uninstall it now and return to the Edge Classic.

I can't tie this to whatever it is referring or responding. But, I cannot bite my tongue, either. There is no stable version and anyone who installed a premature leaked one should not have. Just couldn't restrain myself. Deja vu... reminds of people who replaced their OSs with beta "Preview"/Insider Builds or leaked RTMs or something... that, always, worked out SO well
.
Cheers,
Drew- There is stable channel. no leaks, on Microsoft servers.

josh_bodner scrollbar is not working with mouse after zooming with touchscreen
In Dev, the display screen of the add-on "stylus" continues to be abnormal. Is there a plan to fix it?
Beta is displayed normally.
josh_bodner - what are the chances of us getting a feature similar to what Vivaldi offers - "Notes"? It's a sidebar menu + a context menu feature. You can save any text into a note and then paste it onto any text field from a sub-menu in the context menu.

Hi,
You are speaking of Add notes It is one of the things that draw people to Edge. And, the understanding is, that it will show in a future Build. Supposedly, it is one of the items on the Team's agenda. (And) Actually, Add notes can do heaps more in addition to grabbing text.
But, speaking of grabbing text... That can, actually, be done, now, since the last Update, in Edge C. using caret browsing.
Cheers,
Drew- Add notes is different than caret browsing though.

I would say very high changes 🙂

"Inking for web pages", like the Edge classic, it is integrated with Microsoft OneNote

I never had a chance to use that feature, but does it allow for just copying a piece of text? What I'm after is this:
This is in the context menu of the browser, available for all text fields (with the "Copy to Note" being available on every instance of a selected text).
And the "Lorem ipsum" note is this:
Editable through the Vivaldi side-bar.
The main features I'd love to have are: copying of text, having it available in the context menu as a sub-item (with possible sub-folders) and the ability to change the "header" of the note, as in the way it shows in the context menu.
Help, Chromium Edge has stopped to restore all of my current session when it crashed.
It only restores 4 of 92 browser windows.
<Session Buddy> extension can read all the missing window in [Current Session] and it can restore & retain (suspended tab state, current scroll position, etc) some selected missing window.
Please fix it, I don't want to manual clicking <Focus> button feature 1 by 1 in the extension to restore 92 windows.
The issues happen after update and still persist on the latest Chromium Edge DEV version.I'll follow up until they fixed the issues.
- it is possible that the extension you are using for restoring sessions is causing conflicts with Edge insider's own session restore feature
I don't think so.
Session restoration always working before. The feature was broken after the latest update.Have you tried open 93 windows + 2124 tabs?
