Hi,
Which Edge insider channel? have you tried reinstalling your browser? that should restore the missing file

Canary channel. And yes, a full uninstall / reinstall restored the missing file last time I had this issue a few months ago.

But I would like to have the issue that makes the file corrupted be fixed in the first place 🙂

  Sounds like first we have to find out what even causes that file to get corrupted every few months 🙂
