EDGE Chromium Stable and EDGE (HTML) legacy does not run side by side

Question

Hello, after Installation from EDGE Chromium Stable Version I could not start the EDGE HTML Version. If I start over the Link Microsoft Edge Legacy I get short a Black screen and also all Explorer windows are closed. It looks like the explorer process is crashing.
My installation proceed was:

OS Version: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit (1803) 10.0.17134.1246
First activate the side by side setting by Policy => Allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience. (Reboot)
Install EDGE Chromium MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi (Reboot)
Then I have both links Microsoft Edge Legacy and Microsoft Edge. The new Edge chromium is working as expected but the EDGE legacy is not working.
regards

I found a possible Workaround:&nbsp;https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-edge/edge-legacy-does-not-launch-after-installing-edge-stable-channel/m-p/1130711/highlight/true#M213&nbsp;Microsoft Documentation confirms the Bug now:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-sysupdate-access-old-edgeWarningWhen using Windows Update deployment there is a known issue with the Allow Side by Side policy that produces a broken shortcut to Microsoft Edge Legacy in the all apps list. We recommend that you do not deploy with these methods or enable the&nbsp;AllowSxS&nbsp;policy until this issue can be resolved.

re_bl&nbsp;I found a workaround in reddit postAnd it is working for me. Just right click in Edge Icon (taskbar or microsoft menu) and click New Window or New InPrivate Window
