An error occurred while checking for updates: We couldn't create that component (error code 3: 0x80040154). Version 84.0.480.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
I tried completely uninstalling Edge Canary and reinstalling it. Still shows this Error on About screen, although it seems to run fine.

By going to microsoftedgeinsider.com and download and install on top. Didn't delete 84.0.481.0 before just installed on top.

Hi everyone,
Good news: I just got confirmation from the product team that they are expecting this fix to ship in the next version of Canary! So hopefully, you should see this resolved very soon.
Thanks,

Will it be available by checking in the edge://about, we have to install it over the top of existing installation, or a clean install is required?
I would like to know that too!
Running these commands trigger Edge updater:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe /c
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe /ua /installsource scheduler
Replace USERNAME with your own Windows username.
because @josh_bodner said:
"The good news is that this doesn't actually affect the updater's ability to check for updates, so you'll still keep getting them. You just can't get them on-demand. We believe we've got a fix for this that you should see in the next day or two, depending on when your updater decides to run. "

Actually mine updates just fine to each new build. I believe that the %LOCALAPPDATA%/Microsoft/EdgeUpdate/MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe runs on a schedule and updates Canary build without any need to download it manually. I did nothing today and my Edge had updated itself to 484.0 just fine (while not in use yet -- perhaps when my computer booted).
So this error seems only to affect the "Check for Updates" that is normally done by opening or refreshing the About page in Settings at edge://help . I don't know if that update method actually works or not, but the MicrosftEdgeUpdate.exe that you posted earlier does work to update without re-running the full installer.

@Ataemonus Than don't run the canary build if you aren't happy maybe?

so if i modify task scheduler to check for updates hourly instead of daily ill be fine too :)

edge://resources/js/load_time_data.js
It's correctly ?
Apr 13 2020 04:11 PM
No i was talking about the tasks that are created automatically in Windows Task scheduler. if you set them to run once and then in the advanced settings of trigger tab set it to run hourly indefinitely you won't need to worry about the update anymore.

Same things happens since version 480, was the same with 481 and now the one today, 484 is the same.
Not happy with this.
my take is that Canary is not for everyone, it's kinda adventurous and fun with lots of ups and downs, it helps you to learn more about how to overcome difficulties and find uncommon solutions for uncommon problems.
you can have your default browser set to Edge stable which few hours ago got upgraded to version 81

Hi everyone,
Here is several EDGE channels and builds, status STABLE mentioned for versions 79, 80, 81:
I use version 83.0.474.0 since update error appears in version 84.
As soon EDGE developing team will post resolution of the update issue, will test this solution on my workstation. Rollback to stable version also solution.
