Ok - This morning I opened Edge (w10) and when I clicked the X to close, it would not close. I tried to minimise and click close, still would not work. I can only close it via task manager or rebooting. Nothing has chnaged since last night, so no idea why it has happened. Is there a simple answer as in apps both uninstall and modify are grayed out.

The PC is mine, not a work one and is W10.

PS - Just tried with my w10 laptop, am able to close edge as normal. So have no idea why the desktop is playing up. Is there a solution?

    Having the same issue, I have tried all the tips to resolve this and nothing works, the only way to close it is through task manager.
    Not good M Edge devs you need to resolve this issue ASAP, things like this push people away from Edge browser to Chrome and others.
