BoydB have you tried restarting your computer? Usually when this happens, it's because some other program that's open has a lock on Edge, and instead of trying to figure out which program that is, restarting the device will close everything, which should let you update.

josh_bodner Tried restarting, yes. Never got out of the update loop - it always stayed on 81.0.416.3. Resorted to old Edge, downloaded the latest chromium Edge Dev and installed it. Now running on 81.0.416.6, and the browser shows it is now up to date.
