Microsoft Edge Dev Crashing
So I've been using Edge Dev and Edge Canary for the past month or so but Edge Dev currently has an issue (on my PC at least) where when it opens it immediately closes without any error information other than the Windows Error reports in event viewer
Stephan Swinford I'm having crashing issues all of sudden now as well. I've been using the canary branch of Edge since it released day one. Not a single issue till now. I've found a way to reproduce what is causing it to crash for me. I have youtube bookmarked in my favorites bar (favorite bar is turned on/set to show), if i go to the address bar and type youtube.com and hit enter Edge crashes instantly. If I remove YouTube from my bookmarks and do the exact same thing it dose not crash. Have no clue why that would be. Same thing with any website that is in my bookmark bar. If its in the bookmarks bar and I type it in the address bar and hit enter edge crashes. I've done a re install, wiped history/cache etc. This didn't start it seems until version 77.0.193.0
KhalidA- I started having this issue today as well where Edge Dev is crashing as soon as I start it. I did have a Windows Insider (Fast) update finish installing this morning. Not sure if related or not. I've tried re-installing Edge Dev, but that did not work.

sean8102 My issue seemed to be a little different since Edge would crash seconds after launching, so I couldn't make changes to favorites. I ended up having to not only uninstall, but also delete the Edge Dev folders from appdata and then reinstalling.
HiKhalidA
Press Windows key + R and type: C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages.
Open the folder labeled Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe (Or something silmilar) and delete all of its content.
Next, click Start and type: powershell and right-click PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
This command will reinstall Microsoft Edge:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

DeletedHi Dav my Issue is not with the Normal Microsoft Edge my issue is with Microsoft Edge Dev the Chromium version Microsoft Edge EdgeHTML works fine even canary is working fine
HiKhalidA
I am using Edge Dev for a while have no issues as such. So it seems issue has something to do with your OS.
Have you tried to re-install Edge Dev?
Please use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files?
sfc /scannowThank you
Dav,
