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 here, I seem to be renaming once a day at the moment and it's frustrating. I tried deleting some of the pertinent folders in "User Data" to see if I could find the rogue one but alas no. If this doesn't get fixed soon I will be forced to use something else.

This worked very well for me, and I did this only once.

I don't want to jinx it, but mine has been working ok since 4/15/2024.
