Any chance you could post a link?

Sure thing, that's the original post on the update issues, and here's mine on the "won't run" problem, as the original one concentrated on items missing.

Hi. I just noticed you are running Kaspersky TS. I am running KIS. Anyone else? (I'm thinking it's probably an MS thing, but I could be wrong).

No just Defender and Malwarebytes.

Not surprised

@swerd, I tried repairing and running Edge with KTS offloaded, and it didn't help. I hardly believe it's the AV issue....

Agree, this is a MS issue.

Same problem...I think.
Control panel tells me that Edge is installed...ver : 105.0.1343.25 ...as in #10
Tried all the 'usual suspects'....rebooting, sfc /scannow etc....
Thought of uninstalling....but can only find 'repair'....which does nothing!

Given how many people who have seen this thread that have this problem, the issue must be very widespread. I guess all we can do is wait for a fix from MS.

I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the WebView2 Runtime. In my case I have several instances of it open. While I'm not sure, I believe normally there used to be only 1-2 of them.

Just updated, and all good here (also running KIS).

I wonder if it's an add-on/exension causing problems (which obviously can't be got at to uninstall) ....???

I don't think so, I have no extension installed whatsoever, as I use Edge for work apps.

I only had one extension installed - uBlock Origin. I doubt it's an extension thing.

Nope, yer right, can't be that - same here (also Adblock Plus, Bitwarden password manager and DuckDuckGo Security Essentials)

So we have a workaround provided here (translated version DE => EN). The registry trick worked for me perfectly!

Has anyone else got this to work...??
I'm having no success in even finding the entries referred to....
Something lost perhaps in the translation from DE to EN.....?

" The registry trick worked for me perfectly! "............yes , worked fine , though better wait for the MS-fix !

I had this issue a couple months ago, it is infuriating. it turned out the damned taskbar had a hand in this. I wish I could remember the link, but I can say it re-installing just creates more work and didn't fix anything. it was simple too. You have to go into taskbar settings and do something. The answer is here, I just can't remember which SORRY. I sympathize!

Has Microsoft acknowledged this issue?

Here it is in English...
