    Thanks everyone for the help on this one!  The team has a fix, which is planned to be released with the next Stable 128 update, later this week.  

     

    As a temporary workaround, you should be able to use the following command line argument: 

     

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features="msIrm, msIrmv2, msEndpointDlp"

malloy9932150 all that key does is keep Edge loaded in RAM so when you close and re-open the browser it's not really "closed", so you are just masking the issue

Correct this will need to be fixed by MSFT PG. But this is where they should be focusing their efforts as I can confirm on several devices this key is causing issues.

Also I have heard back from MSFT and their recommendation is to roll back to 127 presently. Not worth the squeeze imo.

It also looks like if the edge process is already running this should work as well. We can only reproduce the issue is no edge process is running and its the first time launching. 

Example: Launching edge>Close edge>Reopen edge works as the process is running in the background after the first launch.
