Edge update and WU

Hello

 

If microsoft Edge is installed from this file MicrosoftEdge_X64_82.0.451.0.exe, updates are only available through Windows Update ?

No update program is installed with this version (compared to other Insiders versions)

 

Thanks

    Hi,
    AFAIK Edge doesn't use Windows update to receive updates,
    by the way where is that file available for download?
    82.0.451.0 is currently the latest Edge canary and Microsoft doesn't offer offline package for Edge canary Windows last time I checked.

      Hi

       

      When you install Edge Canary, this .exe is present in AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Download\{65C35B14-6C1D-4122-AC46-7148CC9D6497}\82.0.451.0 folder

       

      But no update program is "installed" and therefore the update does not work

      and I wonder how to get the updates
      This version of "Canary" interests me strongly, it is "stamped as a stable (for the icons)

        Weird,
        so you don't have this file?

        %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe
