Yesterday, I wanted to clean up my favorites in Edge (remove duplicates, remove obsolete links). In the midst of this, Edge closed without warning or error message. When I restarted Edge, it closed immediately. I could not select the three dots in the top right. It closed too quickly.
I found several possible solutions including tools in the Settings/Apps menu, other fixes involving removing and then reinstituting the %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe directory
None of these fixes worked.
When I restart Edge, it closes immediately.
How can I get it to work properly?

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH! Also, why would this folder cause the app to automatically close? If Microsoft pushed the update and (seemingly everyone) had the same issue with it, wouldn't they post another update right away to resolve it?
Hello, I'm having the same issue, and after trying to locate this file, I'm not seeing AppData after selecting username.
Ours is greyed out too! Up until yesterday around 4pm Edge was working fine but since then it just shuts down every time we try and open it…
I don't get it. It's Microsoft's browser, there are clearly hundreds of us struggling but no action from mcst. Anybody found a way to shake them into action?
That part, can anyone help solving this problem please
