Edge canary 115.0.1834.0 crashes on opening
My canary version 115.0.1834.0 crashes when opened, everytime. I have windows 10. When i rename the User Data folder to something else, the edge runs perfectly but without my user data ğŸ˜. T...
- May 07, 2023After experimenting with each and every file in the User Data folder, I found the solution.
Here's how-
1. Close the edge
2. Delete this file
"C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Preferences"
You can find the 'Preferences' file in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\"
And then delete it
3. Start the edge, only some of your settings along with the sign in will only be deleted 😄
4. Be happy

Same exact issue on my Windows 11 Pro machine. I reinstalled a newer version of Edge Canary on a separate drive and it works great with the exception some features are missing from experiments, like detachable sidebar and image creator.
