msedge_elf.dll missing
In our case, the problem occurs when a new configuration file for Ivanti Application Control is installed. The error message can be acknowledged (sometimes several messages appear) and then everything works normally again.
The problem is difficult to reproduce, on some machines the error does not occur at all, on other machines the error occurs only sometimes when a new configuration is installed.
Is there any new information about the cause of the error?
- We also have Ivanti Application Control (aka AppSense) and received a report of this error.
Ivanti released an article for this issue. We used the second workaround (Add msedge.exe to DriverHookEx). https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Deploying-an-Application-Control-config-returns-msedge-elf-dll-not-found

communityusermatthew tgoldschrafe Hello! If you have identified the third-party software vendor that is causing the issue, you can reach out to them directly and let them know about the issue. Also, you can ask them to avoid injecting running threads into the MS Edge processes, which would help reduce these types of issues. Thanks!

- That's not practical if it's your antivirus software doing the injection.

jdseymour1978 tgoldschrafe Zmegatrolls Parker93x Hi Everyone! The team is currently investigating and trying to find the root cause. In the meantime, they do not recommend moving msedge_elf.dll into the System32 folder.
We will follow up once the team has any updates. Thanks!
