  • Was able to fix Edge Canary by Completely Uninstalling and then reinstalling back. Works great now. Possible plugin feature problem???? edge://flags/

      When you reinstalled, did you get v118.0.2069.0 or higher? If so, you just got the fixed version.

        NXTwoThou I did the uninstall/reinstall thing yesterday afternoon and it was 2069 that I got. That has worked correctly since then and I have just received 2070.

    For those who aren't experiencing the issue, here's what's going on for the last three builds.  Comparing Canary v118.0.2067.0 to Stable v116.0.1938.62.  I get two characters before all Canary instances lock up, sit for a few seconds, and then all close.  Since it closes all instances, can't use "record my problem".  I -was- going to share a link to the feedback hub entry I created last week, but "We're having trouble connecting" is what comes up when I go to "My feedback".  Considering Outlook also is having trouble searching I'm assuming MS is having a bad day.

        v118.0.2069.0 appears to have fixed it for me. At least any of the sites that used to trigger a crash aren't anymore.

      I'm on 2067 and quick links is working again for me but not typing a URL - it closes instantly.

       

      Edit: Now on 2068 and URL input still crashes it.

      it appears to be fixed in my version 118.0.2067.0 this morning. Using it to write this reply. Also managed to check all other info, with various providers

      Have to take it back. Started to crash again during input

    This has to be the most annoying bug in years....have to save as favorite or use a search engine just to go to a website.

    Same here since yesterdays update: Edge Canary keeps on crashing shortly after opening. trying to open websites, typing in the address bar, all result in crashing. This since yesterday's update. Tried repair update, reboot, nothing appears to fix it. Managed to send a couple of feedbacks, but didn't get that far later on. Version 118.0.2060.0
  • Same here. mis and dis in search bar causes immediate crash but Standard Edge works just fine.

    I tried to record the event but because of the crash I lose the recording and the Feedback window.
