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

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 🙂
