Latest Edge Dev Channel Build closes as soon as it opens

I am running Win11 build 25543 and the latest dev channel build of edge. I am running windows 11 in a VM player (ver 16.2.2). When I open edge, it comes up on the screen for 5 or 10 seconds and immediately closes. No error messages. I have no idea what could be causing this. Can anyone help? The released version of Edge works fine.

    Hey there Lenh51! Dev release 99.0.1150.2 is rolling out today, do you mind checking later today to confirm if you're still seeing this crash behavior? Thanks!

      Alexandra-R    Having not received any responses to my original post, I uninstalled and reinstalled the prior version, but this time deleted all the data when I uninstalled the prior version, whereas I had previously uninstalled without deleting the data.  That fixed the problem, and I was able to use the prior version. I am guessing that I had some corruption in one of the installed extensions.  

       

      I have updated Edge to the latest release and it continues to load and work as expected.
