Is Build 118 (Canary build) broken? The browser will close 1-2 seconds after I open it.
I am using Edge Canary on Windows 11. The build for the browser is 118.0.2059.0. Unfortunately, the browser will automatically close itself 1-2 seconds after it's been opened. I can not even get to settings to try to clear anything. Is it possibly related to the new Edge for Business "functions" that were added? I was able to get Edge to open by renaming the Default folder under my appdata\local\microsoft\edge sxs\user data folder. This allowed Edge to work normally, until I logged back into my work profile and the stored information for that account was loaded into the profile once again. Then it immediately started crashing again.
I suppose it could be related to one of the extensions, but this just started today. So something is really wrong there.

- Here is the same.
I tried to record the crash directly from Edge but of course it crashed and the record disappeared.
Tried to reinstall (actually I'm on 118.0.2060.0) but nothing changes.
The OS is a Win 11 Pro IP Canary Channel Build 25936, but the problem started yesterday 8/25 with the previous build.
Didn't change anything on its configuration neither added new add-ons.
Didn't know of any Edge for Business function (I'll try to get info on it) but I had to temporarily switch to Edge Dev.
Any info or suggestion are obviously welcome.RORW_WORK Lestlin_Robins
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.- I saw your post and so I downloaded Canary to a laptop with a Ryzen 7 5700U + Radeon and Canary has no problems. Our desktops are Intel i7 and those both have the same issue.
- I have same problem
You're not alone - I'm seeing the same crash immediately after launch in both build 2059 and build 2060.
I was able to keep the browser running by launching with a 'not-signed-in' profile, so being signed in may be the trigger. Canary was crashing with both personal and work accounts. While this browser was running, I was able to open edge://crashes and submit feedback with the latest one.
I have exactly the same problem!
