Problem downloading Edge insider browser
HotCakeX To loop back, one of our devs wanted to let you know this:
MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log can be in one of two places:
- %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Log\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log -> System-wide install
- %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log -> Per-user install (e.g. Canary)
An easy way to get to it is to open up a new Windows Explorer window and copy one of the two addresses to the address bar. E.g.:
Fawkes (they/them)
Project & Community Manager - Microsoft Edge
oh it's fine, I trust Microsoft even with PII data.
so i just tried again now (canary and dev) and looks like it's all fixed now 🙂
btw "MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log" isn't created when I try to download and install Edge canary on Windows Sandbox. however it is created on my host machine, logged into my MSA.
again thank you for all the follow ups and attention to this problem

Thank you very much! the new location is exactly where the log file is created when I try installing Edge canary on Windows Sandbox.
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Log\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Log\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log"
that's useful for future troubleshooting purposes 🙂
