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?

You can delete them. I saved them 5-6 times, but never needed the old ones. So I deleted all of the old ones and haven't had any issues.
I have just noticed when the home page loads for edge the title is extension://then letters for the file I removed then/home page.html what should I do?
Stephen you are a star! As I expect you can guess after revealing the hidden data and deleting a file same as in example everything back to normal. I can’t tell you how grateful I am
Worked for me too! Thank you!!!
Thanks, this one did the trick for me.
