Hi Folks
I just tried to install MS Edge Beta on one of my RDS 2016 Servers. Right after starting the browser, CPU consumption goes crazy (like 100%) and crashes after a while.
Eventviewer shows following error:
Faulting application name: msedge.exe, version: 77.0.235.15, time stamp: 0x5d63324c
Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 10.0.14393.2969, time stamp: 0x5ccd148a

Any ideas?

Hi @Ajni Kurtaj, we have seen a number of crashes on that build, and the number one issue we are tracking is a bug with the graphics driver. Would you mind sharing you graphics card model and driver information with us? If you are running an Nvidia card, and are not running the latest certified driver, could you upgrade you driver and see if that makes the problem go away? Thanks - Elliot

Hi @Elliot Kirk The machine is a virtual Windows Server 2016 without a graphic card

Thanks, @Ajni Kurtaj! That eliminates the top hitting bug. Do you see any crashes in your event viewer record?
Here is a similar crash from a VM here:
Fault bucket 2299843119412377231, type 4
Event Name: APPCRASH
Response: Not available
Cab Id: 1173160400849985183
The Cab ID will allow us to hopefully find the crash data and allow us to debug the failure.

Solution*UPDATE*
I saw that in the report there were some citrix DLLs, so I excluded MS Edge from Citrix Hook (the environment ist Citrix XenApp). Now it works!!!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Citrix\CtxHook
REG_SZ "ExcludedImageNames"
Value "msedge.exe,nacl64.exe"
Hi @Elliot Kirk
I got an event entry like yours, but the cab ID is 0
I could give you this report if you want?

Hi @Ajni Kurtaj, I will talk with our reliability team tomorrow, when I get back to work, but I am worried that ID 0 means that the crash dump was not uploaded to our servers, and therefore we may be stuck. I will follow up with you tomorrow afternoon. Thanks - Elliot

Like many more, also experiencing crashes, I have not kept close tabs on CPU usage tho.
Running NVIDIA drivers but not the latest which in a way does not matter since the drive of the card itself is never updated being it's a GT640 thus running current or not current drivers should not affect Windows/Edge/Graphic but I may update the drivers.
The crash itself will eventually happen during usage and usually at the very instant I do a click on a link or open a new tab via middle click but no matter what the crashes happens at clicking time.
The crashes are also problematic as they are not causing a simple failure of Edge, the screen goes dark but does not close, impossible to ever see the desktop again which results a force reboot of the computer to get out of this mode which is very annoying on my old system (long reboots).
