Possible to disable profile locking?

After restarting my machine without first closing the Edge browser, it is no longer possible to start it from the desktop shortcut. Attempting from the command line gives this error:

[37244:37244:0826/131736.409175:ERROR:chrome/browser/process_singleton_posix.cc:378] This profile appears to be in use by another Microsoft Edge process (4185043) on another computer (fedora). Microsoft Edge has locked this profile to prevent corruption. If you're sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock it and relaunch Microsoft Edge.

[37244:37244:0826/131736.409233:ERROR:chrome/browser/ui/views/message_box_dialog.cc:201] Unable to show message box: Microsoft Edge - This profile appears to be in use by another Microsoft Edge process (4185043) on another computer (fedora). Microsoft Edge has locked this profile to prevent corruption. If you're sure no other processes are using this profile, you can unlock it and relaunch Microsoft Edge.

Notice that the message gives no information about how to unlock my profile. It is additionally not possible to use features of Edge to unlock the profile, because Edge refuses to open any windows (thinking the profile ought to be locked).

Since this feature has not been adequately designed and is unable to serve its most basic purpose, is there a way to configure Edge so that it never locks the profile?
