Is Build 118 (Canary build) broken? The browser will close 1-2 seconds after I open it.

I'm writing today from another Win11 Pro Canary Channel and from Edge Canary 118.0.2060.0.
In this machine, that's an AMD Ryzen 9 5900 AIO + Radeon, Edge Canary doesn't crash.
The other one that crashes is an ASUS Vivobook Intel i7 sixth generation. More and less, they have the same configuration.
I have a doubt regarding OneDrive: I was on vacation with the i7 and an HP i5 12th and I've been playing with files in OneDrive.
Specifically, I wanted to try the advanced OneDrive function "Free up Disk Space" on the HP machine whilst the i7 (the Edge Canary one) was connected to the same network.
I also moved the Video folder to another location on the HP.
With these manouvres, may I have corrupted some Edge files or add-ons files that Edge Canary use and loads automatically when connected?
It is not more than a doubt, since other people are experiencing the same.
About the profiles, it happened before I was aware of the existence of the new function "Work profile".
After RORW_WORK talked about it, I create my work profile with an ENTRA ID I own.
Nice function (between parenthesis) but the crashes were absolutely the same as before.
So I uninstalled Edge Canary with all its configuration files and re-installed it tracing the installation and the registry changes with Revo Uninstaller Pro Portable.
Then I uninstalled it once more cleaning up the registry and any other lost files related to Edge SxS etc.
I re-installed it with no luck.
The fact that on my Ryzen it is not crashing after more than an hour, is another factor that should be investigate, among other possible causes.

Sad news. It has begun to crash even on the Ryzen. It worked for more than an hour then I clicked on a favorite site icon on Edge background, and it crashed.
Let's wait for the big nerds to solve the issue. In the meanwhile, Edge Dev for all. 😉- Paul_H_UKAug 28, 2023Brass ContributorRuh roh... I went back and played around with the laptop for a while and unfortunately mine has started crashing too. So, not an Intel thing it seems. I do remember this happening once before with Canary so it looks like they've reintroduced the problem.
