Dev channel update to 90.0.796.0 is live
This version is completely broken.
When starting EDGE, it takes 5-6 sec and the windows stays all white (no title bar, just a white rectangle)
this is 30 times slower than previous version - and very annoying - nearly unusable
Yoneff and anybody else experiencing a white/hanging Edge, we've found that there's a particular flag that's causing this behavior. First, to make it so you can even get to the flags, start Edge from the command line with the --disable-gpu flag. Then, on edge://flags, click the button to reset all the flags to their default state. The flag in question is to force Edge's Color Profile, but that flag may be missing for some people, so the only way to reset it is to reset all of Edge's flags. In particular, that flag seems to be getting set to HDR10 for some people, and the hang occurs when that happens, so resetting it back to a non-HDR colorspace fixes Edge. For anybody this fix works for, please let me know!
josh_bodner This did not work for me
Jerry Bumgarner also, for anybody who's experiencing Edge being all-white/hanging at launch, we need your help to get some more data about this. If you're able to to eventually get Edge into a working state after seeing it be all white, please go to edge://gpu and send me the logs on that page. If you're not even able to get Edge into a working state, we'd love to have dumps of both the main browser and GPU process. To figure out which is which, go to the Details tab of Windows Task Manager, right-click the column headers, go to Select Columns, check the box for "Command Line", then sort the processes by name. Once you get to all the msedge.exe processes, the GPU process is the one with --type=gpu-process in its command line, and the main browser process is one that doesn't have any --type string (other types you'll see include crashpad-handler, utility, and renderer)
josh_bodner Attached are my logs.
Thanks for your work!

Unfortunatelly this does not helped either.
Flags are reset to defaults, browser restarted and still getting white window.
Can you please specify the flag name in question?
Thanks
Yoneff The flag is "Force Color Profile", but it expired in Edge 89, so it's no longer available in Canary and Dev.
- Thanks. But still happens after resetting all the flags...
josh_bodner Resetting flags did not help me at all. Browser still hangs for couple of seconds at launch on a white screen.
Since the white flash at launch is no longer a flash and it's clearly visible to everybody, can we finally have it dark in dark mode?
- same here
