Dev channel update to 81.0.381.0 is live
samuele2 In the absence of a Safe Mode option, try this:
Go to your Edge profile folder "User Data", rename it to anything else. The path is C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev. Start Edge Dev. This time it should not crash. Close it again. Rename the profile folder that was created by this successful startup to something else. Rename the original folder with your old profile back to the original name (User Data). Start the browser again. In case this still doesn't work, delete this folder and rename the recently created successful startup folder back to User Data and start Dev. You will have a brand new Edge, but you will have lost any customisations, Sync settings, Extensions, etc. You will have to recreate these.
Let me know if it works
Hi Dave. I tried the non-safe mode process you advised for @samuele2 and this made no difference. I confirmed Edge had no processes running, renamed the profile, ran Edge again and then nothing happened except for multiple processes starting in Task Manager. After a few minutes, I ended the processes and ran Edge again. This time it displayed the UI with an Edge closed unexpectedly dialog, still had white browser pages with "This page is having a problem". We can't even get into the Help -> about or Settings pages.
michaelgibson Thanks Michael, it was worth a shot. Put it down to experience 😊
davequail No, thank you for the suggestion 🙂 The sooner we can get this sorted/worked around, the better for us 🙂 Hopefully the full release will drop soon and we'll be switching to that.
- Michael, I'm sure there are a few of us hoping / expecting that some issues won't be seen when and once it's the or an actual, true, non-beta browser. And, fully in step with the OS.
Cheers,
Drew
