Edge Beta black out
On a new Surface 6 Pro. Edge Beta quite regularly goes black, the whole application. I can three finger swipe to see the desktop apps running, Edge Dev shows black, no other app exhibits this behavi...

ikjadoon I can say I've been seeing this "100% blank & black Edge window after login" symptom consistently since Beta 78, and possibly Beta 77, although I didn't record build number for myself in either case, so I can't say exact build/revision. It could not have been later than Beta 78, though, based on the dates in this thread. I used built-in feedback reporting when I reported in late September, so Microsoft should know the specific version.
Interestingly, I've never seen the symptom as reported in 80 known issues ("Edge window UI stops responding and goes dark [but UI, like parts of tabs, context menu, "..." button is still visible]") as shown in others' screenshots of Dev 79 here, or as explained in known issues as part of the workaround.
As only the later symptoms were described in known issues, then blamed on Chromium, I feel less than confident the former symptom's fixed. It's older, it occurs under very specific circumstances, it looks different, and they've had plenty of time to fix it in 79 if it was really known.
Wade Dorrell Right, I don't have that weird black-screen-but-UI visible, either. 😞 Mine was just a pure black box: no UI elements, but I could get Edge back via shift-escape and ending the GPU process (does that help yours any?): identical to this thread's screenshot. For the pure-black-box bug, I've not had that again since the latest dev update.
Agreed. I think someone from the MS team should respond, unless there are other issues.
Another shot in the dark: I recently updated the NVIDIA drivers on that machine: maybe I'd confused causation/correlation here?
