Olivia_Zhang When can we expect this to be released on the stable channel?

It's frustrating whenever there's a new update released, the browser basically never going to open itself after the update, even by clicking the app icon. I have to force quit the MSEdge in Activity Monitor to get it to works again.

    Hello! Thank you for your feedback, I am sorry to hear about your current experience on MAU. Have you tried giving it longer to update after Edge closes? Do you end up getting stuck regardless?
    We don't have a set timeline yet but we are actively working on the new updater and are eager to bring it to everyone!

      So the Edge is basically stuck forever, but for some reason, there's an invisible Edge window that cannot be close, I guess it's maybe something to do with the update stuck? Anyway, I have to force close the Edge in Activity Monitor to end the "forever stuck" issue.

      So this might not be related to this topic, but the invisible window seems to be quite an annoying issue to due with, this is so far what I can find on Google that exactly describe my issue
