Microsoft Edge falls at first hurdle
Microsoft Edge falls at first hurdle, it refuses to open once closed I have to restart my computer everytime I want to use Edge at least the Dev Channels always worked. Now I cant use the software at all and have had to go back to Firefox, which I did not expect.
Any news when this will be fixed, or do you not know about it.
- Trying turning this off:
Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed
in here:
edge://settings/system
and by the way, since 2 months ago that you posted about this, have you tried uninstall/reinstalling it ?
and also turning off your extensions temporarily see if it still happens
edge://extensions/
I have found out the issue which is caused when you close Microsoft Edge, on going into Task Manager it shows 10 Microsoft edge listings that did not close properly. Once it reaches that amount it will not open Edge, I have to keep going in and clearing all, 10 listings when this happens, then I can carry on.
When I close the browser it is not clearing in task manager that's where the problem is, does not do it in any other browser.

- Which channel of Edge are you using?
What OS are you using?
