I think that the problem expanded with the introduction of KB4505903, which is to suggest that we are advancing backwards.  

 

I reported on Wednesday July 24 that I could not replicate the error using Windows 10 Pro 1903 Build 18362.239 and Edge Dev Version 77.0.223.0.

 

This morning, the error showed up.  The only change in environment was installation of KB4505903 this morning, which updated my computer to Windows 10 Pro 1903 Build 18362.267.

 

The error does not manifest on another computer which has not yet been updated, running Windows 10 Pro 1903 Build 18362.239 and Edge Dev Version 77.0.223.0.

 

So whatever else happened, it looks like the error may have been released into the wild, so to speak, by KB4505903.

 

In response to your question regarding Windows Insider participation (which might or might not be relevant at this point), I am a member of the Windows Insider Program, but am not currently testing any Insider builds on any of my computers.  I am running the production 1903 version on both computers I'm using to test Edge Chromium.
