    It turns out that the problem was in the PWA's manifest.json file as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54928050/vue-pwa-blank-screen-after-closing-the-app

     

    By default, the manifest file had "./index.html" as the start URL.

    {
 "start_url": "./index.html"
}

     

    Changing that to be "/" resolved the problem.

I saw what you have said and I am also seeing the same. I would recommend you send feedback through the in-app feedback tool(Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge with the diagnostics data attached which will help the PWA team to look after and resolve your issue.
