Microsoft Edge keeps closing soon after opening. This is occurring after their most recent update was automatically installed around 2/10/2023. Why is this occurring?

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.

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.

hi i had all these problems and more,this is the only thing that worked for me. 1. open file explorer to C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local folder.

navigate to the microsoft folder; C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Microsoft

2. navigate to the Edge folder; C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge
3. navigate to the "user Date" folder; C:\Users*username*\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data
4. find the Default folder and rename this to original-folder;
5. then restart Edge

This will reset Edge to a default new profile startup; if your information is synced to Microsoft; the shortcuts and links and passwords will be restored from the Internet based on the last time it was synced up.

i used this from someone elses thread (i dont know how to leave a link from it) after days of searching and trying everything this was the only thing that worked. hope it helps.
