Edge Dev Version 137.0.3255.0 (64-bit) corrupted extensions
-After upgrade to latest version Edge Dev is reporting many extensions as being corrupt.
-Repairing individually also does not resolve the issue, the entry disappears in Extension settings.
-Extension icon on taskbar show as blue jigsaw piece instead of default Extension icon.
-Fresh install of latest dev version also behaves similarly.
-When trying to install extension from MSoft store get Error message below:

-Resolved issue.
-The problem is due to using a symlink for Edge Dev AppData Local folder (mklink /d "C:\Users\xx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev" "F:\Apps\EdgeDev.Local")
-Removing this symlink and running Edge Dev with the default directory structure works.
-MSoft need to address the issue of using symlink for the "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge Dev\" folder.
-I prefer the User Data folder contained within the above path on an external HDD since it is constantly caching and do not want to wear down my SSD.-When attempting to enable a preinstalled extension like Google Docs Offline by toggling the switch on right side, following error message occurs: (Also notice lack of extension icon)
-Still same issue in Version 137.0.3269.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit)
-Extensions corrupt when Dev Local folder running from symlink.
-Not signed-in/no profile sync.-Install with default folder location works fine.
