sobby Sorry but it's not a solution, it's a workaround and it doesn't even work for me (the workaround returns undefined which means I can't even use it). I also have this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70286901/edge-extension-crashes-the-whole-browser-on-api-call-after-latest-update-launch

      sobby Sorry didn't notice you asked for code! 😄

      const arguments = ''; // Hidden due to privacy
const authURL = 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/authorize' + arguments;
const res = chrome.windows.create({
  focused: true,
  height : 800,
  width: 800,
  url: authURL
});
console.log(res);

      Hi, thanks for responding so quickly. I appreciate it.
      I don't know! 😄 It creates a window and displays correctly, but it returns undefined (without any other errors) and I'm baffled.
      I have no idea why it's returning undefined.
      I can't listen to window-changes (to retrieve the window-title) if the API returns nothing! 😛 I'm unable to give you more information of why it returns undefined.
