Microsoft edge update error
Getting this error while checking for updates in Edge browser stable version.
An error occurred while checking for updates: We couldn't create that component (error code 3: 0x80004002 -- system level).
nix1507 Thanks for reporting this and welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider community! I looped in our feature team to see if they can help troubleshoot.
(And I hope you're liking the new WW84 theme extension! I have it on my browser too.)

Program Manager & Community Manager - Microsoft Edgenix1507 To follow-up, I heard back from the team! First, they requested that you submit diagnostic data through our secure in-browser feedback tool, if you haven't yet. (Shift+Alt+I on a PC or "..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback.)
And second, the fix should be easy! They're recommending that you simply reinstall Microsoft Edge (no need to uninstall firs.)
- Exit all browser sessions
- Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge from a non-Edge browser
- Download Microsoft Edge, run the installer
Hopefully that helps, and let us know if you have any additional questions!
