Thanks for reporting this, JohnnyGui. I think this is a crash we are familiar with and believe we have fixed in the version 96 which should be available very soon.

If these continue after updating to 96, please let me know. Due to the somewhat random behavior, we cannot be 100% sure we fixed it completely.

I can confirm the issue is still present in version 96.0.1054.34 just like wasago said.

Hey JohnnyGui, in looking at our internal data that has been sent to Microsoft, we are not seeing hits in 96, though we do see a lot in 95. I wonder if it's possible your identity_helper.exe did not update to 96 somehow. Can you confirm the version of identity_helper.exe from the Properties::Details tab?

NOTE: This should not have a negative impact on the app usage, as it happens on exit, so it was already going away before it stopped responding.

  After a long while of no crashes, it came back again. Using Edge version 97.0.1072.69 on Windows 21H2.
