Problem after latest update to Edge version 89.0.774.48

We are having major problems after latest update to Edge version 89.0.774.48. Edge starts multiple processes and the program hangs and is not responding, the processes are not being closed on command.

The problem appears in Edge Stable and Edge Beta, in Windows 10 version 1909 and 20H2.

 

 

  • the problem is related to the use of ue-v
    if I disable the ue-v profile of Edge or stop the ue-v Edge service opens without any problem.
    This problem needs to be fixed by Microsoft. We use ue-v to save the bookmark file

      Stopping the ue-v service solves the problem, also to unregister the ue-v template for Edge solves the problem keeping the ue-v service running

      Command for unregistering the ue-v template named Edge is:

      Get-UevTemplate -Application "Edge" | Unregister-UevTemplate

        Problem is really solved, when you unregister the Edge-template from UEV. However I would like to know, when Microsoft is going to address this issue and when they publish a hotfix.
  • Hi,
    if you haven't already, please use the feedback button on Edge to report this performance issue.

        Please try adding this to the end of target of your Edge shortcut "--profile-directory=test"

        make sure Edge is closed first. if you can't force close it through task manager. in task manager, go to startup tab and disable Edge startup task, then restart computer.

        after that, right-click on Edge shortcut on desktop and choose properties. then select "Shortcut" tab and in the Target text field, at the end, add that line "--profile-directory=test"

        so your Target should look like this:

        "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory=test


        let me know how it goes and if Edge can start and work properly.
