Edge renderer accessibility is not working on 117.0.2045.9 beta (64-bit) Windows 11

Hi guys,

It looks like the --force-renderer-accessibility startup flag stopped working on the 117.0.2045.9 beta.

The Microsoft UIA cant access the browser UI elements when the msedge.exe started with the flag.

I couldn't find anything related to it in the changelog.

On the release version it works fine.

It looks like a bug.

Any ideas?

    I think I found why it doesn't work.
    I needed to specify the accessibility type as complete in order to make it work:
    --force-renderer-accessibility=complete

    It wasn't needed before the beta, just providing the --force-renderer-accessibility flag was enough.

     

    I found the solution on the edge://accessibility page.
