Edge canary 115.0.1834.0 crashes on opening
- After 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 issue with 115.0.1836.0 on Windows 11 25357.1 . I updated to the latest version of Windows and after restart Edge Can opened automatically, showed me the banner to restore the accidentally closed tabs or open startup page. I wasn't able to click anywhere in the browser properly and within 7-8 seconds it crashed automatically. I tried using repair option, downloading it again and overriding it over the already installed version but there were no updates. I also tried to change the startup parameter value to 0/1 in preferences section (weirdly it was set to 4 lol unlike normal Edge version which was 1). Still all in vain, changed it back to 4 but nothing changed.
Hopefully an update fixes this soon, dont wanna lose my data (im dumb..coz sync is on but for normal edge not canary)
