Edge won't launch today, except when run as administrator

I guess edge updated to 76.0.167.0, and today it will not launch, unless you run as administrator. The following items are in the event log: -------------------- Fault bucket 160320256058606953...

Its a know well reported issue. Are you able to launch Edge Insider Dev 167 and work in it, if you delete or rename the folder .../Edge\Application\76.0.167.0\local ?

I removed the "local" folder (which contained a file named cache)

It still won't launch. :(

  CodeDJThanks! I just found all the news about it not launching. I'll switch over to old edge and see if I get an update next week to fix it.
