Hi everyone, just a quick note to say that we deployed a new build 78.0.268.3 to the Dev channel today for Windows only. This corrects an issue with our digital signature that prevented Microsoft Edge from working on Windows 10 S and caused some people to see an "unverified publisher" or similar message. There are no other changes in this update.
Thanks! -David

@josh_bodner You guys are aware this isn't code signed, right? 1Password won't work because there's no valid code signature on the msedge.exe file.

@josh_bodner enterprise mode is no longer working as expected in this build. Now it is opening a new IE instance instead of opening IE inside of the tab.
I am using an enterprise site list, and it worked correctly in previous versions.

Defender ATP is blocking this version of Edge Dev from being installed or run because it is unsigned/untrusted.
Please can Microsoft clarify if this missing signature is a temporary mistake that will be fixed soon or if it is intentional and we should stop using Edge Dev; thanks

@josh_bodner no code signing? Tsk tsk tsk ... I love the new Edge, but that is sloppy work ...

@josh_bodner Has the release of Edge Dev 78.0.268.1 been pulled?
My Windows 8.1 Edge system won't update from 78.0.262.0 to 78.0.268.1 - it says there are no updates.
If I grab the Edge Dev installer and try to reinstall/update that way, I still end up with 78.0.262.0.
Thus I'm wondering if Edge Dev 78.0.268.1 exists/has been pulled?
If so, is it due to the fact it was unsigned?

@josh_bodnerHello, what about Favorites menu closing when we open a new tab (right click, or middle click)? In "Edge Legacy", it stays open and we can open several new tabs without closing the menu.
Thank you!

@MikeDiack @josh_bodner I see the same thing where it will not update to this new release. Any ideas?

Well I have two machines on Win10 1903 and one has taken 78.0.268.1, the other says its up to date on 78.0.262.0. The newer version is giving some rendering oddities though. The Register website front page is rendering the boxes around the headlines far taller than they need to be and at one point inserted all the adverts upside down. No issues with this site on the earlier version, Chrome or legacy Edge

@josh_bodner Clearing all cookies from a specific site using toolbar and clicking "Done" results in browser shutting down / crashing. Have to restart and use restore pages popup to continue.

Hey folks, check for an update, they fixed the issue in 78.0.268.3.
Sep 11 2019 11:03 AM
@MikeT Thanks!
I had just got updated to 78.0.268.1 this morning, lol. Just checked and now server updated me to 78.0.268.3
Sep 11 2019 11:23 AM
@MikeDiack and to everybody who noticed, yes, we did pull 268.1 for a little bit due to the signing issue, which is why if you tried to download it from the website last night, you remained on 262.

Both my machines have now taken 78.0.268.3 but sadly now both have a rendering issue. Look at https://www.theregister.co.uk/
Boxes around the story headlines are elongated vertically and scrolling is very lumpy. Site is fine on legacy edge or Chrome

@josh_bodner That bug still there in the current release

Good to know it was a false alarm 🙂
