Follow these steps:
- Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\Application (replace USERNAME with your own Windows username)
- open a CMD window in that directory. you can do it by typing "CMD" in the windows explorer's address bar and pressing Enter.
- then type in this command: msedge.exe --user-data-dir=c:\foo
- if everything goes right, it should load a brand new Edge browser window for you, which means your Edge browser files are not corrupted or anything, load some websites and see if they work.
- if they do then you can go ahead and close it.
- Go here and delete the folder called "User Data" C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS (again replace the USER name with your own)
- now open your Edge canary browser normally and report back what happened. hope that helps.
p.s: before deleting the User Data folder, you gotta know that it's gonna delete your favorites, passwords etc. you don't have to worry about this if you had enabled cloud sync.
