msedge_elf.dll missing
Hello, Recently, several of our users (including myself) have started getting the following error pop-up, seemingly at random points during the day: "The program can't start because msedge_el...
We have a similar problem since May 6. We are using Edge 101.0.1210.53 on Win10 20H2 and Win10 21H2.

The problem is difficult to reproduce, on some machines the error does not occur at all, on other machines the error occurs only sometimes when a new configuration is installed.
Is there any new information about the cause of the error?

We also have Ivanti Application Control (aka AppSense) and received a report of this error.
Ivanti released an article for this issue. We used the second workaround (Add msedge.exe to DriverHookEx). https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Deploying-an-Application-Control-config-returns-msedge-elf-dll-not-found

communityusermatthew tgoldschrafe Hello! If you have identified the third-party software vendor that is causing the issue, you can reach out to them directly and let them know about the issue. Also, you can ask them to avoid injecting running threads into the MS Edge processes, which would help reduce these types of issues. Thanks!

- That's not practical if it's your antivirus software doing the injection.
