84.0.480.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) shows error on About screen
- Thanks but it was always an option for everyone at any time, not new to this.
this problem is fixed in the next Canary updates. also the updater works using these methods which is even better than the normal updater since user can set it to check for updates automatically every hour or every minute.

Hi everyone,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this. One of our program managers had some initial https://twitter.com/OliviaZ73011638/status/1244804479452495872:
"1. Press Win +R, type cmd.exe and press Enter
2. Type “%LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/EdgeUpdate/MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe /regserver” and press Enter
3. Reboot the machine and verify if the issue is fixed."
If that doesn't resolve the error, you can also try uninstalling and reinstalling Canary. And to confirm, there are no known performance effects with this error, it just means that you might not see version 84 changes until after we can push the fix in a subsequent build.
Hope this helps, and please let us know if you see anything else come up!

Deleted So I downloaded off the Edge insider website. build has updated, but the problem still remains as you will see from my screenshot.

I had not noticed until someone else pointed it out that the .480 build has been updated successfully to .481. However, .481 still displays this same error.
Perhaps the command that you gave us did force a successful update, as I did not see mine updating on-screen within the About page.
Note that this error message did not appear until after the successful update to the .480 build. I don't know that it actually affects the auto-update function at all. Everything else seems fine to me.
Ok after seeing your post I checked and I was still in 480....the browser has been open since I tried the CMD and the error was there.
I just closed the browser and reopened it and it is on 481....the error is there.
Deleted I can confirm that I have tried both fixes as well and still the same issue.

Tested too and same error

Thank you all for the quick testing on this! We are actively in communication with the product team about this right now, and will keep you all updated as they find out more. (It sounds like there may be a secondary bug that's making those troubleshooting steps ineffective.)
We appreciate your help with this!

It did not fix it for me.
neither did uninstalling and reinstalling. I fully uninstalled Edge canary yesterday when this problem occurred, then few mins ago installed it again fresh from new installer but the problem was still there, used the method you suggested, rebooted, it's still there 😞
- Did this fix resolved the issue for anyone? Did not work for me 😞
Rohit YadavNope did not fix for me either.
