    Just out of curiosity did my powershell fix not work? I used it on all of our PCs and have not had the issue reoccur since. It should fix it for every user on the PC rather than just the current user.

    Thank you Thank you..... I sure looks like this process has helped with Edge. It is not exiting, and it seems to not be opening new windows whenever I click on an option.

    Hope it helps others.

    Another update... the file that seems to always be present and also fixes the issue when deleted is "MANIFEST-000001". So the new powershell command would be:

    Remove-Item "C:\Users\*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Sync Data\LevelDB\MANIFEST-000001" -Force

    Deleting this OR any .ldb file OR the 00003.log file seems to fix it but the MANIFEST-000001 file is the only one that's always there making this a more consistent fix.
