Edge Dev Doesn't Run
Running release prior to 101.0.1198 and also 101.0.1198. Neither will run properly. I get a blank window for a couple of seconds and then it quits. I downloaded 101.0.1198 again today (after doing an...

Robert - what is the context here? Do we need to run tests because the guys in Microsoft cannot reproduce the issue? I tried 3 different laptops and Edge dev is hard down... I think that Microsoft can reproduce it in-house very easily... Please correct me if I am wrong.
- Not clear MS has visibility to the issue yet, I don't see any comments from them yet.
If the diags can help them, i was happy to run them and post the results.
I looked at the app data path. not clear where all that storage is being consumed. 😞
There's like a kazillion folders in there....- Interesting....
My Edge GA app data (which I only use for backup when Dev is dead), which i've setup the same sync'd profiles....
only has 2.38 GB
Yet, my Edge Dev App Data, with the same 3 sync'd profiles...has 10GB
And that's after running storage cleanup and tossing all the 'temp internet files' - Got it. Who is moderating the discussion board? is it a Microsoft guy or is it a kind of autonomous discussion board? I wonder if the moderator can somehow escalate it within Microsoft... My bet is that Edge Dev is down worldwide.... On my side - 11 AM EDT 29 March - Edge Dev is still down on my Windows 11 & Mac machines.
- Did you run the diags?
Do you get the same errors as me?
