Dev channel update to 81.0.389.2 is live

Hello Insiders, today we’re releasing build 81.0.389.2 to the Dev Channel.  It’s a smaller update this week since we’re focusing on our other channels, including our very first Stable channel update:...

josh_bodner This and the previous dev channel builds have been broken for me.  When opening Edge the application area is all white with no UI visible.  After a while the UI loads and the infamous "This page is having a problem" appears (no access to about, settings, or feedback).

 

I expect this is all related to Symantec Endpoint Protection, which appears to have on-going issues with the latest Chrome 81 builds, since this issue doesn't happen on machines I test that do not have SEP installed.

 

Workaround is to use the Beta channel which is still based on Chrome 79.

    DatabaseJase Replying to myself to note that running Edge Dev with parameter "--no-sandbox" fixes this issue too. SEP is most likely the issue because on another PC without SEP this issue doesn't occur.

      DatabaseJase just remember to remove that flag once we get it fixed!  No update on the fix yet, but I've asked the devs if there's anything we should expect for next week.
