Edge Beta black out
HotCakeX FWIW (if Greg and I are in fact talking about the same symptom) no, I do not have any flags enabled. Checked by visiting edge://flags and seeing that none of the dropdowns are highlighted.
I did a "Reset all to defaults" just now in case I'd set a flag long ago, didn't remember, and the dropdowns being highlighted are a false negative for some reason. I'll let you know if it still occurs.
I also filed a bug report on this using the "Send Feedback" button earlier today. Unfortunately was not able to include this screenshot with the bug report since to use Send Feedback AFAIK I'd need to be able to see the button. 🙂
You can take a screenshot via snip & sketch app in Windows 10 and upload it along with any other files you want (could be even more than one picture) with your feedback and send it:
HotCakeX - Hi I've got a couple of dmp files from an Edge process that is in a race condition.
These are created by the <ctrl><alt><esc> task manager for Edge. Once I end this process, Edge begins displaying again.
Do you have an alternative location for upload? The feedback application only allows 25mb and the zip I prepared from the dmp's are 250mb

You can upload it somewhere else like here
and then give the link to them via the feedback section
HotCakeX Ah, I had no idea the "diagnostic data" link would let me add screenshots. I'd never clicked it. Maybe "diagnostic data or additional screenshots" would be better text. I figured if could add screenshots (other than the current screen) it'd be part of the "Include this screenshot" bit. (I spent maybe 30 seconds trying to figure out if I could paste or drag a file into that.)
Anyway, the screenshot & bug is described here adequately. Wish I had better steps short of "leave some Edge windows open and sign out, walk away, later come back and sign in" but that's all I've got for now.
FWIW this is still occurring occasionally. I saw it as recently as the beta-channel build of Edge that has the new "wave" icon. (I hesitate to state version # since I don't know if it occurred on the exact version I have installed today or not, but the version I have installed today is 79.0.309.18.)
It would be helpful if someone from the team could acknowledge the symptom is known/not-known, and if there is/is-not a fix version... then I will start paying more attention when it does occur again. (If you think you already have it fixed and I just don't have that version yet, then I will not waste my time.)
