Yup, same version - Version 113.0.1732.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit. The fix (I hope) for me was to uninstall Edge Canary, delete the Edge SxS folder and reinstall. Essentially a 'new' install.

 

So far no crashes. But I have to assume something in this new build is having an emotional moment with older builds data.

    C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft

    There should be a folder called Edge SxS.

    I renamed my original just in case. It's the same as deleting it and you can pull whatever you might need from it once you've reinstalled.

        To all reading this... I just updated to Version 113.0.1737.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit). There hasn't been any crashing issues since I reinstalled. Since I don't have the time to completely debug the problem with the previous version, I'll have to assume (and I know about assuming) that the problem with the crashing was related to something in the Edge SxS folder. Or something I configured that the 'new' version didn't like or can't handle properly. Lastly, all the extensions I was using work as expected in the lastest update.
