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...

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.

      benpal Can confirm adding new language crashes. Posting comments here leads to crash too.

    While I was writing my reply, Edge Dev crashed twice, the second time freezing the whole system with no other way out than a hard power off. This crash left a System error memory dump file of over 10 GB. This also happens quite frequently (approx. once a day). I suspect that Edge is the culprit.

     

    PS: ... and right after posting this reply, Edge crashed again. And again after posting this edit  ....

    josh_bodner  Dev crashes consistently when trying to add a language and it also crashes spontaneously and frequently for no obvious reason, sometimes even while idling. 

    I just installed Canary and this is what it shows in the language setting "out of the box":

    Any attempt to add a language crashes Canary as well. 
    My normal settings I want to have this:

    I have also contacted your support on this issue: [Case #:1030897204]
