Xbox One, Microsoft Edge won't open. Was working yesterday, now it doesn't.

Microsoft support is of no help, if they don't disconnect your call then, they want you to do everything you already have done before even contacting them: I already did a soft reboot, hard reboot, clear local games, check updates (cant update Microsoft Edge), keep apps/games updated, etc...

Okay, I've had the same issue as everyone else, have done everything including totally erasing every hint of edge from my system including the registry, and a hundred other things. WHY does this work? Because it worked!

    Hi,

    Have you tried putting .old in the "User Data" folder. As soon as you open Edge, the system itself will recreate a new folder.

    path: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\

    folder: User Data.old

    What worked for me is chaning the Target in the Edge shortcut on my taskbar from "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\125.0.2535.92\msedge.exe"

    The disadvantage is that after the next Edge update, the path needs to be changed again to the version newer than 125.0.2535.92 or, hopefully, reverted to the original path ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe") - but for now it works!
