Didn't for me. I had to use the reg trick. Maybe there was still some leftovers from the previous version.

You mean, not even this one worked for you, Keith?

This is a completely different release form the one that caused issues yesterday.

Nope. It didn't restart so I deleted the reg entry (Only one in my case} and it starts just fine now.

Well, at least you have it up and running now. That is the important part. :-)

Edge wouldn't open on this PC. Firefox was fine. Tried a Repair--same result. Found this posting on the Forum. Deleted the Registry Key ---only one. Now working o.k. 105.0.1343.27. Going to power up and check my other desktop and laptop now.

Edit. Both the desktop and laptop failed after they updated to 105.0.1343.25. Removed the Registry Key --1 in both cases--and now o.k.

I was looking for a 2nd...which wasn't there.
Working now....thanks!!


I think they just meant... do a search for that key and remove a few of them. :-)

I solved the problem another way. I just removed EDGE, a long time ago.

Version 105.0.1343.27 (Official build) (64-bit)
There is a serious Problem with Edge Version: 105.0.1343.27. It self-installs not as a part of Windows Update, but independently. After that it is not possible anymore to start Edge. This happened to my first PC on September 1st. I tried all recommended repair options, including an Inplace Upgrade. It did not help. I had an hours long Chat with Microsoft Support. They logged into my computer and tried all kind of things . The only option that worked finally was creating a new admin account, from which opening Edge was possible. MS Support diagnosed a corrupted account profile.
As I cannot imagine reinstalling all my approx 400 apps with all personalizations on a new account I decided to give up and switch to Firefox.
Today, September 4th my second PC, a totally different configuration, but also Windows 11 and Edge, started with exactly the same behavior.

It is clear that it is not a profile problem, but a bug in Windows 11 / Edge

MS Development should look into it urgently

I wonder how many hours people have wasted trying to resolve this problem. I guess I really don't want to know the answer.

PS: Brave has been my default browser for several years now. I have no plans to change anything.
