    FIXED!!
    I scanned the registry for 'MetricsReportingEnabled'. It appeared on my PC under Edge two times.
    1. [Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\]
    2. [Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3783096567-2060243791-1526209860-

Hi Strubi99 

had the same problem with Canary build 105.0.1335.0, maybe the bug somehow made it into your Beta. 

So just to check, please try to start your Edge Beta with this command line switch: 
--disable-features=msShorelineNotifications,msShorelineSnoozeNotifications

 

To do this, open a command prompt and navigate to your msedge.exe:

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application"

- Then run the following command:

msedge.exe --disable-features=msShorelineNotifications,msShorelineSnoozeNotifications

 

Does this start your Beta now?

No joy.
I tried doing as you suggested but I keep experiencing the same issue.
