This page is having problems
Hello everybody!
I started using Microsoft Edge Dev some months ago and everything went smoothly until today: I turned on my laptop, opened Edge Dev and noticed that it is not working anymore at all.
Any page that I try to open (even the welcome tab) doesn't load and moreover the only two extensions that I installed (uBlock Origin and Norton Password Manager) are crashing.
I would like to check the log file (if any) in order to understand a little bit better what's going wrong under the hood.
I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1903, unfortunately I can't provide the Edge Dev version since the "about" tab is not working. Trying to download and run the latest installer from the web did not help.
RetroChrisB thanks for sharing. Reading the discussion about that issue I got rid of the previous flag ("-no-sandbox") and changed to "--disable-features=RendererCodeIntegrity" since that should be a little bit more secure.
Thanks!

Thanks, everyone for reporting this issue.
I have reported this problem to the engineering team.
I'm curious if it's only affecting specific extensions, could you all please list an extension or two you where using?
Thanks for your patience,
Frank.
I'm still having this issue, on both Dev and Beta channels, and it's happening on multiple computers (one personal, one corp). Both a Dell computers if that's worth anything (an XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 and a Latitude 7480), with Symantec Endpoint Protection on the work Latitude. As for extensions, I only have 2 - 1Password X and Momentum Dashboard.
The --disable-features=RendererCodeIntegrity flag does seem to fix it for me on both computers that is failing. Prior to this, I noticed that reinstalling would fix the problem for a while, but then it would just show up out of the blue for no reason when starting the app sometime... Pages wouldn't load, and even the About and Preferences wouldn't load.
I was having the issue a few days back with Edge Canary, but it's fine now after one of their daily updates. I've had it happen in Chrome Canary too and the same thing...usually by the next day update (or second next day update) it's fixed. Sometimes for whatever reason it carries into Dev. As others said there can be a specific reason or Windows reason for it happening (I don't know as Canary is working fine for me now, an I'm not on the Dev side of things).
You can also see if the same bug happens in Chromium:
(Keep in mind that Chromium is not meant to be used as an everyday or regular browser as it doesn't have auto updater or any updater except manually installing it everyday, and it lacks important codec that isn't built into it to run certain applications. So stick with Edge Canary/Dev/Beta for that, but it's good for testing to see if a bug is in the original source or for analyzing to see if an crashing issues found in the later versions like Canary and Dev are happening in the original trunk version). https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium
paolot I'm having the same issue on 64-bit Windows 10 (1809), it might be related to an open Chromium issue

- same problem here, Win 10 pro 1903, all tabs crashing. I have the adblock extension which is crashing but I also can't access the extension page to try disabling it
Same here, running fine for weeks then suddenly the same problem - no pages (not even "Edge" pages, such as settings) will load, and all extensions crash. This happens with both Edge Dev and Edge Canary, and I've tried reinstalling both but the problem persists. I'm running Windows 10 Pro 1809 x64.
Starting Edge with the '-no-sandbox' switch seems to workaround the issue, but doesn't seem like a proper resolution?
paolot I am seeing exactly the same problem. Win10 1809 Enterprise in my case.
