Update 2:
users report that the issue is back in Version 80.0.331.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
Version 80.0.317.1 (Official build) canary (64-bit) Fixed the issue, which was originating from Sync options.
I just updated my Edge insider Canary to Version 80.0.316.0
and it keeps automatically closing itself after every 2-3 minutes. I have about 4 tabs open and mostly this Microsoft tech community

LOL, i can't even get to the setting fast enough to turn it off... is there a flag for this setting?
EDIT: incognito mode worked to change setting.

@norbertwell This. Can't get into settings or incognito mode to supposedly fix it. Maybe a good 2-3 seconds here before crash.

Same issue here. Turning off sync fixed it, but is obviously a band aid solution. I'm sure a fix will be forthcoming:)

open Edge directly into incognito mode. right click the icon and select new inprivate window.

@chriscata if you have the shortcut on desktop, right click that and select Pin to taskbar. You only get that option when it's pinned to the task bar.

even private is closing the window, i can't access the settings fast enough, its closing in 2 seconds.

@HotCakeX same issue for me
edge crash no matter how I open it (normal or incognito with and without extensions activated).

@HotCakeX Can't be quick enough to get Sync Off, even using InPrivate.

@norbertwell OK - so if you're quick enough THAT works. It takes too long to get to the settings normaly, so copy pasting that into browser as soon as it opens, then taking 2-3 tries to move my mouse fast enough to sign out, then another 2-3 tries to sign-out fast enough - finally worked.
You have to complete the sign out in 2 seconds. And it's Launch -> Paste -> Click Sign-out -> Click that you're sure to sign out.
Nice.
