Unable to open Edge at all unless using admin rights

Am using Version 76.0.167.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit)

 

Trying to open the browser, nothing at all happens when I try. Works fine when using "run as Administrator" but this seems like it could be a bad idea.

 

I don't get any error message or reaction at all, no idea where to start troubleshooting.

  • MarbleMouse, we had an issue with the build that we chose to promote to Dev.  We have since pulled the build down.  You have two choices to get unblocked:

    1) You can wait until tomorrow, we will be publishing a build that has a fix for the crash, or

    2) Uninstall and reinstall from https://microsoftedgeinsider.com/download

    Thank you for your understanding,

    Elliot

    Same here. Mine was working fine now will only open with admin rights. It's crashing and leave a message in the event viewer.
