MS Edge stopped launching May 15, 2026

Beginning today - MS Edge stopped launching.  It was working yesterday and I hadn't installed anything or restarted.  Rebooting didn't resolve the issue.  Running the Modify / Repair from the Installed Apps area ran through the reinstall but it still doesn't launch.  

Perhaps someone has already seen this issue?

  • Hello,

     

    Try re-registering Microsoft Edge. Perform these steps:

     

    1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Windows Search.

     

    1. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.

     

    1. Then type following command and press Enter key:

     

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

     

    Let the command complete.

     

    1. Close Windows PowerShell and check Edge, it should work fine now.

     

    If issue still persists, refer other suggestions in this fix:
