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)

Yes I have this (for a standard Canary installation, via the MicrosoftEdgeSetupCanary file)

And this

For news install of Canary
But if I install by .exe, there is no EdgeUpdate directory

  Well your folder structure looks fine,

  I think the French part says the updater is already running and check back later?

    Thanks 😉
    
    Indeed, I passed Edge in English for the screen, but the other half in French, probably because my OS is in French
    
    There is no update file installed (EdgeUpdate.exe, etc ...) if I install Edge with this .exe
    And according to the error code, that would indicate a problem with Windows Update
