The Android version of Edge doesn’t support extensions.  The app was updated today at 1208 PM, which partially explains why it was working in the morning, but not now.

I have started the Windows version with all extensions disabled, but it closes just the same.  I haven’t had much luck in actually uninstalling them in the 5-10 seconds available. 

Tonight when I grabbed my Android phone to use Edge, after 5-10 seconds, it closed with the following message:  “Something went wrong with Edge.  Edge closed because this app has a bug.  Try updating this app after its developer provides a fix for this error.”  Both the Chrome and DuckDuckGo apps work perfectly.

I am cursed.  That is the only possible explanation. 

 

And to add, I looked for some other places such as the tmp and temp variables.  They all point to the normal drives which they have been using for literally years.

alejr,

Thanks for the input.  The HKLM did have a branch for Edge, but it was for a “Webwidget” with the value “0” showing.

When I said “rollback” I was imprecise.  Sorry!  I backup daily using Acronis, and so have a full image to restore.  So everything was replace with the earlier version which of course solved the problem, temporarily.

This seems to be a very unusual problem.  Otherwise The Patch Lady (TPL) would have known about it. The fact that is happening on two very different machines, both mine, means there is some very obscure interaction between another piece of software common to both machines, or some obscure setting.

I have already tried by removing the easy stuff from starting up.  Time permitting, I am going to experiment with variation of clean boot using other tools.  I have Chrome running for minimal use, but as you know, it is never as simple as just using the import function.

No.  I checked the virtual memory settings, and it is being handled by the system, with every thing on the C drive.

Yes, the 9/13 offered updates, no “seeking.”  I did, before rolling back, try the preview in desperation, but no help there.  The version of Edge is 105.0.1343.53 (Official build) (64-bit).

Norton 360  I have disabled it, but not actually removed it.  Just tried reinstalling Edge, but no help.  Still closed in about 10 seconds.

Not using SHUTUP10 or any similar program.

Extentions:  Adblock, Roboform Password Manager, and Microsoft Editor.  All disabled.

Nothing jumps out at me from the Event Viewer, though I readily admit that is at the edge of my skill level.

“deleting the key MetricsReportingEnabled under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge”

The is no “Edge” key below Microsoft.

Firefox has an extension which will also highlight the changes for you. There doesn’t seem to be a way to mark the actual change, or??? I monitor several pages which often have subtle updates, and it can take some time to find what has actually changed.

Recall please, that in the mid-1970s we tried year-round DST to save energy during the “oil shock.”  It was hated by many people for various reasons.  One in particular was that children were walking to school, or waiting for the bus, in full night in some places.  It also did not save energy in any significant amount.  As a result, they let the law lapse.  It might make more sense to keep Standard Time.

I enjoy political and military-political thrillers.  One plot staple is to block the Suez Canal, usually with an explosive laden ship, to prevent the movement of military vessels, though also sometimes for economic reasons.  It probably IS nothing, but can’t help thinking about that, and why it is taking so long to clear.  Lloyds is quoting the cost at something like $400M/hour, though the exact meaning of that is somewhat ambiguous.

I haven’t heard anything about blocked technology shipments, though that is a given, but there is one report that it could cause another toilet paper shortage.

Colony.  Genuinely interesting characters, and a plot you needed to pay attention to.  Often something would happen or be said, and its significance would not become apparent until several episodes later.  It is hard to do a completely fresh invasion story, but they came very close.  Of course it was cancelled just as the Big Reveal was coming about which of the aliens were the Good Guys, if either.
