Microsoftjdseymour1978 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!

Kris_Boeckx jdseymour1978 tgoldschrafe Zmegatrolls Parker93x Thanks for your patience! We do have some updates about this issue. Our developers have investigated and found that the issue is caused by multiple different third-party software vendors who are injecting running threads into the MS Edge process.
We did make a change in MS Edge Canary Channel (v104.0.1287.0), adding the following environment variable will work-around the issue:
EDGE_CRASHPAD_ASYNC_ENABLED=0
Please be aware that using this workaround does slow down the MS Edge launch.

- Hi - can you confirm if this is the current advised solution. I have recently encountered this problem as well.
Also is this a global environment variable I need to add? - I will need to instruct my IT support team to do this; so want to be clear what I'm asking for.
