Something is very wrong, it crashes about ~10 seconds after launching. I can't even get to Send Feedback quickly enough to let you know why, or figure out what's causing it myself. Rolling back to 115.0.1866.1 immediately fixed whatever the issue is.
You all really don't make it easy to roll Edge back at all, do you? Had to install a Group Policy (single machine, no domain) that I doubt will actually work to prevent it from updating until the next version rolls around, and run the MSI from an elevated prompt...

From an elevated command prompt or PowerShell window:
msiexec /I .\MicrosoftEdgeDevEnterpriseX64.msi ALLOWDOWNGRADE=1
Now all is well.

While it does not crash for me, it just does not render anything. All I am getting is a large completely black window with absolutely nothing inside and nothing clickable! Switching workspaces from the taskbar shortcuts does not do anything. No way to send feedback as well. Using stable until a fix is available.
Update: I tried a hard reinstall for both consumer and business versions, still facing the same issue.

Same here, crashes to a completely black window and after some seconds it show a background wallpaper video (a video of Mount Fuji, this morning) with a black band on top.
Furthermore, Edge Dev "Uninstall" (via Windows/Settings/Add or remove programs) does not work. Nor does "Modify". And Edge Dev Uninstall via the Control Panel/Programs and Features does not work either.

Your rollback instructions are for the Edge Dev Business version. How can we roll back the Consumer version?

Trouble is, Edge Dev "Uninstall" (via Windows/Settings/Add or remove programs) does not work. Nor does "Modify".
Furthermore, Edge Dev Uninstall via "Control Panel/Programs and Features" does not work either. It simply hangs, with the Edge Dev icon showing on the Taskbar and nothing else happening.

Just found the problem that makes the window completely blank, which is the flag "Enhance text contrast".
If you have this problem, you can create a shortcut and add ' --no-experiments' to the end of the path in the target field, and you can open Edge with no problem with the shortcut.
Afterwards, you can disable that "Enhance text contrast" flag from edge://flags/, and then everything should be back to normal now.
