Issues on MICROSOFT EDGE
Hey Everyone! Good evening for all of you, this is my first post here in this communitty and I'm here for asking some of you, how can I solve one issue which I've been experiencing since today. ...
- Hi,
it was a temporary issue, many people were experiencing it, even saw tweets about it, but now I'm checking and it's fixed now. I'm testing it on Edge stable, Dev and Canary channels.

- Bugs are odd, but there are many situations where people have a strict firewall rules, that's when that message in Edge updater is relevant for.
- Sure, but my point still stands: why doesn't Edge add that executable into the Windows Firewall (or Windows Security Firewall, in recent Windows 10 versions) by-default? It adds the main "edge.exe" process by-default, but not the one suggested there?
Is it asking too-much to expect Microsoft to add that exception into the Windows built-in firewall, given both products are made by, you-know... Microsoft?- Spoiler
