Is the new tab page randomly popping out the known issue?

Not applicable

Hi insiders! I have been using the latest stable (yes, testing stable but considered as stable branch) build of Microsoft Edge which is version 77.0.235.9. I want to sure about the one problem which is bothered me: The new tab page which is popped out with the new window is popping in front of my face randomly and at the startup of the Windows. Is this a known issue for that branch? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
please only use the available Edge insider versions from here: https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download

 

there is currently no stable version. it's set to be released some time at the end of 2020.
the "Leaked" version that is available in the wild is a homebrew custom version made by someone else and he/she calls it "stable". I would advice against using it as it poses serious security problems and it can't be trusted.
for the same reason it's not supported to be fixed.
that version 77.0.235.9 is months old. the latest version right now is 78.0.256.0.
if you want to test out the new Edge insider i suggest you start with the Canary or Dev.

Thanks for the reply. But the download link refers to Microsoft. How can that be untrusted? That's just the point that I didn't get.

On the other hand, I'll switch the beta soon. Thanks again.

You're welcome.
could you send me the link to it via private messages? Thanks

On a different note, unlike the previous beta leaks that were hosted on 3rd party servers and other stable leaks, there is in fact a link that points right to the Microsoft servers.

Kudos to @Deleted for finding it:  https://c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/downloadEdge.aspx?ProductreleaseID=Edge&platform=Default&version=Edge&Channel=Stable&language=en

 

another: https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2069324&Channel=Stable&language=en

 

so these 2 links are safe.

 

 

Actually, I didn't find the link myself, the link that is giving by the leaker (randomly found) has same link I provided to you. But I realized that's just the little word changing on the link, nothing more.

Anyway, thank you for thanking me :)

@Deleted yes,i tried the so-called stable version, and i found the same issue as yours, so I turned back to the official releases, and now i use the beta version, no new windows come out randomly...:face_with_tears_of_joy:
