Edge support on Server OS?
Thank youconalw and blomsterharry. We are working on bring Microsoft Edge to as many platforms as we can. We just released for macOS this week. It would help us understand the priority of various platforms if you could give us an idea of what scenarios we would unblock for you by bringing the browser to the various versions of Server. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
We installed Ent Dev V. 78 on a Win 2019 Server with Citrix. Installation worked with no errors, but Edge does only work if we access the server with VMWare console (with "administrator mode detected" message mentioned above). With RDS or Citrix Session the browser starts with a white screen, it starts hundreds of tabs and CPU runs up to 100%. This behaviour is user independant (faulty as admin and as user).
Chrizzly We see a white screen too via ICA session. May be https://www.citrix.com/blogs/2018/04/18/running-google-chrome-on-citrix-xenapp-and-xendesktop/ fixes this.
Thilo Langbein Thanx, we'll give it a try and post the result here...

Hey guys, we made it work! Thanks to the hint of Thilo, we made the following registry change:
1. Open Registry Editor
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook
3. Create a REG_SZ string "ExcludedImageNames"
4. Enter the value "msedge.exe,nacl64.exe"
The new Edge starts now without any issues in Citrix and RDS Session...!
- It sounds as if you have administrator rights, Chromium Edge works, if you don't it doesn't. Can you confirm?
Mantvydas , running the enterprise install beta channel v 77.0.235.9 I experienced the crashing when running in Citrix Workspace with Citrix virtual apps 1906 with both standard and admin users. When I login on the physical machine's console Chromium Edge works fine. Doesn't seem to work in terminal server mode. When running in terminal server mode all I see is a white screen and in task manager I see Edge launching session after session and then those sessions "suspending". Curious what other multi-user windows issues there will be.
Rob Seiwert I'm running "Version 77.0.235.9 (Official build) beta (64-bit)" on Windows Server 2019 with a Remote Desktop Session Host role (also known as Terminal Server, but not Citrix one). It runs fine. I've installed it from an .MSI offline download.
