Edge deletes Edge
- Update: we believe we've identified the issue here and hope to fix this soon. Thank you so much for helping to identify this issue before it went out to a broader population!
derekamoss I am unable to replicate the issue on any of the three computers on which I'm running Dev 77.0.223.0. Both "Microsoft Edge" and "Microsoft Edge Dev" show up in the Start menu. You might consider contacting Microsoft Edge Support.
tested it on multiple computers and the same happens. Wrote a thread on reddit about it and other people have the same problem. Are you in the windows insider program? Maybe thats the difference
derekamoss "[I] tested it on multiple computers and the same happens. Wrote a thread on reddit about it and other people have the same problem."
I don't doubt you, but I'm not seeing those results.
"Are you in the windows insider program?"
No, I am not. I am running Windows 10 Pro 1903 Build 18362.239 on two of the computers I checked, and Windows 10 Home Build 18362.239 on the other. I am running Version 77.0.223.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) on all three. I am running Edge Chromium "out of the box", that is, without flags, extensions or other changes not included in the Settings menus.
"Maybe that's the difference."
It could be. I've read articles to the effect that Microsoft is taking steps to depreciate EdgeHTML in recent 20h1 Windows Insider builds, and if you and the others are testing 20H1, that might be reason why you are getting the results you are getting and I am not.
However, if the change in behavior occurred upon upgrade to Dev Version 77.0.223.0, it could be a bug, and it might make sense for you to report the issue to Microsoft Edge Insider Support (as well as Microsoft Windows Insider Support) so that Microsoft can get on top of the issue.
