Edge support on Server OS?

Hi,   First I would like to say, that it's great to see that Edge will also have support on legacy OS like Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. But I can't find on the Edge Insider website, if there will be ...

    Thank youconalw and blomsterharry.  We are working on bring Microsoft Edge to as many platforms as we can.  We just released for macOS this week.  It would help us understand the priority of various platforms if you could give us an idea of what scenarios we would unblock for you by bringing the browser to the various versions of Server.  Thanks in advance for the feedback.

We installed Ent Dev V. 78 on a Win 2019 Server with Citrix. Installation worked with no errors, but Edge does only work if we access the server with VMWare console (with "administrator mode detected" message mentioned above). With RDS or Citrix Session the browser starts with a white screen, it starts hundreds of tabs and CPU runs up to 100%. This behaviour is user independant (faulty as admin and as user).

It sounds as if you have administrator rights, Chromium Edge works, if you don't it doesn't. Can you confirm?

    Mantvydas , running the enterprise install beta channel v 77.0.235.9 I experienced the crashing when running in Citrix Workspace with Citrix virtual apps 1906 with both standard and admin users.  When I login on the physical machine's console Chromium Edge works fine. Doesn't seem to work in terminal server mode.  When running in terminal server mode all I see is a white screen and in task manager I see Edge launching session after session and then those sessions "suspending". Curious what other multi-user windows issues there will be.

      Rob Seiwert I'm running "Version 77.0.235.9 (Official build) beta (64-bit)" on Windows Server 2019 with a Remote Desktop Session Host role (also known as Terminal Server, but not Citrix one). It runs fine. I've installed it from an .MSI offline download.

        Mantvydas No, we face the same issue like Rob Seiwert . The problem ist not "user-based", it's "access-based". Regardless of user/admin rights, Edge goes crazy if you try to open it in a RDP or Citrix Session. But if you access the server over console it works.

         

        You wrote, you installed RDS role on the server, but did you manage to open Edge in a RDS SESSION or only over the CONSOLE?

         

        This is our setup:

        Edge Dev V 78.0.244.0 64bit

        Windows Server 2019 1809 17763.652

        Citrix Virtual Apps 1903
