Microsoft Edge Beta issue
Hi there,
That's a known bug that I also had experienced at some point when I was on version 78. (now i'm using Canary version 79), unfortunately there was nothing much I could do about it but waiting.
Anyhow, please check a few things to make sure it is indeed that bug and not something else
1. when you close your Edge insider browser window(s), do you still see Edge insider icon on the notification area? (bottom-right corner of the screen) ?
2. do you use any PWA (progressive web apps)? such as pinning a website as an app to the taskbar or start menu and then use it separately?
both of the things I mentioned could be potential reasons for that behavior,
and lastly, try turning off " Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed"
in here: edge://settings/system
and see if it makes any difference.
thanks
HotCakeX answers to your questions;
1. I see the edge icon in the show hidden icon pop up window.
2. no I do not use PWA.
I turned off "Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed" and it appears to have solved the issue.
- That's good then
the reason for the Edge insider Icon appearing on the notification area could be that an extension is preventing it from fully closing when you press the X button on top.
