Microsoft Edge on Mac crashes

I recently heard about the Microsoft Edge available on Mac and decided to try it out, so I downloaded on the website and follow the instructions. But once it's installed, the app pops like like any other Mac apps, but it instantly crashed and closed by itself, even with several times of reinstalling. Is there anything I could do to fix this? Like something needed to change in the settings?

    I tried all proposals here but still suffering from crashes. The crashes are experienced during downloads.

    Strange. Downloaded and installed edge from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge

    As usual it started automatically after installation and crashed. error message as usual.

    But I kept double clicking on the app and suddenly it opened and is running now???

    (I remembered that I had to do that when installing google chrome, and Edge is made from chromium)

    So, if edge crashes, just keep opening it until it runs. 

    ... Strange

    Best regards

    What about edge canary build? Does canary build crash also? Have tou tried creating a new user in macos sonethibg like Temp user giving it admin right and logging into new profile and trying edge beta or edge canary?

    the terninal command i gave you shoukd have ran and in the end it should say pernissions success reset done.  Strange the mac locked up in you? Anyway try new user name and try those steps again. Cause when i was having alk these issues before simple new user fixed them, reset permissions fixed my main user profileb alsod

    It did not change anything. Unfortunately!

    1. Removed the Microsoft Edge that was installed
    2. Installed MicrosoftEdgeBeta-85.0.564.23
    3. As usual Edge started automatically after install and crashed
    4. Ran the command "diskutil resetUserPermissions / id -u." (I guess the ending '.' is not an error ?)
    5. The mac hang
    6. Rebooted with Ctrl+cmd+PowerButton
    7. Started Edge
    8. Edge crashed

    When Edge crashed it showed the same errors as usual.

    ???????????

    Best
