Edge Canary - Version 97.0.1065.0 - empty tabs - reduced context (right click) menu

After updating to latest build, the browser doesn't display anything.

page is blank

context menu have only 3 options
none url reachable (no problem from other browsers) - in Dev Tools error message: No resource with given identifier

 

What have I tried to do:

disabled HW acceleration

disabled all extensions

private mode

another user profile (version 85 working and then updated to 97.0.1065.0, same behavior, blank tabs)

  • Hey folks! Thanks for continuing to report in on this. Since we're not able to gather feedback on this we're doing it the old fashioned way (a bulleted list!) I know some of you have already given me some of this information, but if you could bear with me and provide it again (especially version, which might have changed since you provided it the first time)

     

    Please answer the following in a response and be as complete as you can! 

    • Current browser version
    • OS and version
    • Region
    • Do internal edge pages load for you? (ex: edge://settings/help)
    • For pages that are not displaying, do you have the reduced context menu?
    • Are you using any third party antivirus/proxy/VPN software?

    I'm getting this in front of the team and may ask for additional information according to what they need to dig in to what's going wrong here. 

     

    Thanks!

        For me too. A rhetorical question: are there any plans to fix ?

  • Hey there SiKei! Are you still seeing this with today's Canary build (1066)? 

     

    The reduced context menu you're seeing looks like the mini menu to me. Does it show up when you right click, or when hovering selected text? Is it initially a ... menu that expands? I'd expect to see the mini menu on text hover, but it shouldn't be interfering with your right click menu. You may want to head over to edge://settings/appearance and scroll to 'Context menus' and check out your settings for the right click menu and mini menu. 

     

    The blank page issue is interesting, looks like you've tried a lot of what I would naturally suggest for that. Are you able to access Edge internal pages like the one I linked above for settings? (If not, that probably wasn't super helpful advice was it?) Have you tried running Edge as an Administrator, and do you happen to have any third party security software running, or something that might intercept web traffic -- a Pi-hole or something equivalent, for instance?

      Alexandra-R I saw a different issue where you had recommended trying in InPrivate.  Tried that for this issue and it sill has the same error.  Including the console errors, but I don't think those are relevant.

      Updated and still have problems

      About: blank and Edge internal settings pages are the only ones without issue and displaying full context menu.

      I have non new third party software or plugins, no connectivity problems (other browser / internet application running as usual).

      Other things I tried:

      check Edge firewall settings: nothing unusual

      deleted Edge SxS\UserData: nothing changed

      deleted Edge SxS folder and reinstalled from scratch: nothing changed

      installed Edge Stable: everything fine

       

      BTW: Windows 8.1
