Microsoft Edge closes immediately upon opening. I've tried many fixes none work.

Anonymous

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?

Same issue began this morning after I performed a Windows 11 update.

Opened Edge this evening, completed a bit of online banking with my bank and closed Edge as usual. Five minutes later it was exhibiting the "close immediately" problem and none of the actions described above have had any effect on fixing it.
