Hello guys! Why isn't sign in supported when running Edge as administrator? What's the reasoning behind this limitation? Is there a policy to change this behavior? Thanks!!

Hi,

this is my problem too. Google chrome works and allows sign in when it's run as administrator but Edge has the problem

HotCakeX I'm curious why you want to run Edge as administrator?  Doing so defeats a lot of the security that the sandboxes provide, so it's not a state we want people to be in.  (It also caused people whose machines were configured in a certain way to not be able to load any webpages; see https://textslashplain.com/2019/09/27/aw-snap-every-tab-crashes/.  That's why we put in the warning when you're running Edge as an administrator!)
