Edge Canary 95.0.1003.0 spawning multiple new Windows

With today's update to Edge Canary 95.0.1003.0 it is spawning multiple new Windows at start up and constantly thereafter after some time delay. Effectively unusable. This is even a worse prob...

I resolved my issue temporarily by turning of sync. Once I turned this off it stopped spawning multiple windows. Nothing like coming back with Canary left open in the morning and come home 10 hours later to a bunch of spawned windows.

Turning off sync only delayed the inevitable. But it did take a lot longer to spawn the new window.

  I sure hope this gets fixed soon. It's even happening for me when I switch to a different browser and force Edge to close through the task manager. It won't stay closed and keeps spawning new windows. Does anyone know of a way to keep an app from opening, at least for now? If not I might have to uninstall Edge Canary until this is fixed.

    I can click a tab in release Edge and Canary will launch new Window(s). This is a real hoot 🙂

  I stand corrected. It seems to only extend the spawning period. As of the time of my post and just now one window spawned.

    I created a new profile without turning on Sync and so far no spawning windows that was about 45 minutes ago.
    
    UPDATE: So its been well over an hour and still no spawning from either my new profile or my current one.
