Edge dev crash on start up after update

Iron Contributor

I am using Edge dev for several months now and this is the first time it happened.

When I started Edge this morning, the windows opens,  but after 2 to 5 secondes edge crashes (the edge window closes). I don't have any warning or error message. I also could see that the new update was apply because one of the tab being loaded was the "welcome back" page after an update is done. Also in the lower left coner I can read something like "processing" before the crash.

 

I download the lastest update with a different browser and apply it but it didn't fix the crash. 

I start Edge without extension with msedge.exe --disable-extensions and no more crash.

But this is the weird part: when I restart edge the normal way, it didn't crash anymore even though I had  all my extension opened. 

 

I am on windows 10  1903

Hmm same here
so yeah it should be temporary and might go back to being normal after few minutes

@HotCakeX , I don't know if this is related but since the update, each time I tried to  open http://guardian.co.uk/ edge crashed. (but I can open https://www.theguardian.com/)

It could be very random yeah..hopefully the next Dev update tomorrow will take care of it

Hi,

FYI: I tried both in Dev and did NOT have either crash.

Cheers,

It's normal, it's different on each machine because of different configuration.

@07_19 Its your favorites. Turn off your favorites sync and it will stop crashing. I had this problem a few weeks ago.

Thanks @cjc2112  but favorite sync is already disable (not because of this but because the favorites I removed always came back when I reopen edge).
