New Feature in Edge Canary Version 84.0.492.0 - install sites as share target for the whole Windows
This newly added flag: Enable Share Targets Enables installed web apps to register for and receive Share requests from the Windows shell. Requires the Web App Identity Proxy functionality to be enabled as well. – Windows #edge-share-target which requires this flag to be enabled as well: Web Apps Identity Proxy Enables installed web apps to be created with modern Windows application identity for better integration with the Windows shell. – Windows #edge-webapp-identity-proxy the description of the flag is self explanatory but what it does is that when you install a social network website such as Twitter as an app in Edge, it will be added as a share target when you press Share button on Edge or anywhere on Windows 10. Twitter will be registered as a system-wide share target so any app or program in Windows 10 can share files to Twitter website. this was requested before and now implemented. thank you! this is an example of Share from Photos app and you see Twitter which is the website installed as app in Edge is a share target on the list. Keep in mind that this is the first implementation phase for this feature so it might have bugs or might not work for you at all.Can't install our app - "certificate in chain-of-trust is failing validation"
We've had a number of support incidents from users with Windows 11 Insider Preview reporting that they can't install our Windows Desktop app. Users with the retail release of Windows 11 (or Windows 10) do not experience this issue. Our (WiX) installer runs successfully until it gets to the driver installation step. Then it rewinds and quietly exits with no message popup or obvious error. Despite testing with a variety of different Insider Preview builds, we've so far been unable to reproduce the problem locally. Looking at a verbose setup log contributed by a user, I noticed the following: DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW DIFXAPP: INFO: RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0xE0000247) DIFXAPP: ERROR: encountered while installing driver package 'C:\Program Files\AcmeWidgets\WidgetApp\widget-driver.inf' DIFXAPP: ERROR: InstallDriverPackages failed with error 0xE0000247 DIFXAPP: RETURN: InstallDriverPackages() 3758096967 (0xE0000247) CustomAction MsiInstallDrivers returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 21:00:47: InstallFinalize.

EV Code Signing Issued 27 May 2020 28 May 2020 02 Jun 2022 02 Jun 2022 2 years While investigating, I also saw a message/description that mentioned a certificate in the chain-of-trust failing validation. I thought perhaps an intermediate CA cert might have been omitted from one of the Insider Preview builds, so I requested dumps of root, intermediate and third-party certs from a few affected users. My hope was to find a cert included in my test environment that was missing in all of theirs. No such luck, unfortunately; they all seem to have supersets of the certs I have in a fresh Insider Preview test installation. Can someone please respond with a suggestion on a path forward? Being unable to reproduce this in a test environment has me completely blocked. I'd really like to hear back from a Microsoft engineer on this. Thanks.New feature | Edge PWAs are getting Hubs
This an example of Spotify web player and YouTube installed as a PWA in Edge Version 91.0.862.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) in this version, which is the first time this is appearing in a installed PWA, only the downloads button/hub appears there. I hope in the future the Global Media Controls button also become available there, that will make the most sense. we'll have to wait and see whether favorites, history or collections icons will be there too or not.
