    Hi  Kelly 

    Thank you so much for your reply,  and take in consideration my  "issue".     The thing is , a couple of days,  I tried in Microsoft Edge Dev , 147.0.3890.0  ,  in same system,  same user account ,  and the flicker desktop icons,  when  Edge Dev , close ,  does not happen..  🤔   I appreciate your suggestion but  is not a solution , to the bug . ,after a few Edge stable build updates , this behavior still persist .   146.0.3856.84 (Official build) (64-bit)  ,  the bug continue .

     

    all the best

      Hi EDIMicrosoft​ - You are correct, if you are using version 146.0.3856.84, the bug will still reproduce.  

       

      You will need to be on versions 147.0.3912.0 and above to have the fix.  Thanks!
