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?

    It doesn't open much at all. It hardly works, but I am still using it. I updated to Edge 86 Dev, which takes about a few crashes and then it gets fixed.

    I have switched to Edge from Chrome for a few days because Edge consumes much less CPU. I really like using it, but since yesterday the crash issue suddenly appeared. It's really annoying, while I am watching the online course or website, it just crashed without any reason. Now I need to switch back to Chrome, unfortunately. Hopefully, MS can fix this issue soon and release an update.

    OS: macOS Catalina version 10.15.5

    Edge version: 84.0.522.49

    As of this morning I'm having the same issue. Which is odd, because I've been using Edge of months now and this morning it crashes. I've downloaded and reinstalled the most recent version multiple times with the same result.

    **UPDATE** Another reinstall and a reboot took care of the issue.

I got it to work on 1 system under new profile under Big Sur Beta 2, DOES NOT WORK on any other system I have? so the more tickets we create the more people we have the more information they will have.
