Dev channel update to 97.0.1069.0 is live
Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 97.0.1069.0 to the Dev channel. It’s hard to believe it, but we’re already halfway through version 97! If you missed Ignite last week, we had lots of bi...
Not sure why - after the update this morning, I've had a dozen crashes. Not sure if others are now seeing Edge Dev crash or if this is specific to me. Different websites, doing different things. Can't nail down a commonality. Have not have this experience until updating to latest build. "Repaired" Edge Dev through "Apps and Features" on W11. Seemed to reinstall Edge Dev while keeping all setting and favorites but did not fix the crashes.
If anyone has seen this behavior and found a solution or work around, please share here!
- Edge Dev 97.0.1069.0 is totally broken. Can't even do 2 image searches in a row without Edge crashing and closing. Pretty much any activity quickly results in a hard crash!
I have filed 2 Feedback reports, neither with any feedback yet. Having to use GA Edge, but very inconvenient.- Eric_Lawrence

Robert -- Apologies for the hassle. Your crash is almost certainly caused by a bad interaction with a browser accessibility feature. https://textslashplain.com/2021/10/12/accessibility-uia-troubleshooting/ explains how to confirm; if that's the problem you can likely workaround the crash.- Thanks Eric_Lawrence. I had time this morning to get back to this. Noticed the Dev updated to 97.0.1072.8; the but problem still exists.
Found your response and the article. Yep, I used the cursor indicator feature. I turn that off. Then turned off all the edge accessibility items that were turned on. rebooted.
Edge appears to be stable again 🙂
THANKS

Same problem. Edge Dev crashes spontaneously every few minutes, no specific pattern I could attribute these crashes to so far, happens even while Edge is just open and idling. I have cleared cache and cookies, to no avail.Update: Edge Dev crashes systematically when I try to add a language (English (USA) in my case) .
benpal Yours sounds like a different issue, then. Can you reproduce that crash in Canary as well? I can't on any of my machines, but I also already have that language installed since I'm in the US, so I can't tell if it's something specific to that language, or something else.
josh_bodner When I launch Edge Dev on my second PC and before touching anything, I see these strange settings:
As soon as I start using Edge or when I reload the settings page, this reverts to my ususal settings:
On my second PC too, Edge crashes when attempting to add a language. It also crashes randomly the same as on this PC.
