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?

    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.

    https://microsoftedgesupport.microsoft.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. can everyone jsut submit a ticket about this, EDGE OPENS ICONS BOUNCES BUT DOES NOT OPEN! to them. 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.

    Same problem for me on macOS 10.15.5 , MicrosoftEdge-83.0.478.58.

    I try to run from Applications folder, the app icon appears briefly, bounces once then vanishes and nothing happens. App must be crashing immediately. Tried reinstalling. Still does not work.

    I have exactly same issue and currently working with MS via email to try and fix this, Macos Big sur beta has the same issue..
