No big deal as I just restored a clone backup but Edge went away. I mean it was still there but refused to launch. Did a reset and repair to no avail. Wonder what happened... :dunno:

I use Firefox for normal browsing but use Edge for my streaming services. Actually the Edge start page is all my streams in tabs.

I have had similar things happen.
For me it is usually a sync problem with MS. I have had it as most of my programs listed will not start. I get a white line beneath them and that is the closest to starting I can get. Usually when the drive syncs up it goes away and programs will start normally again.
I know, no real help, just sympathy.

Mayhaps, but I don't know. :dunno: I also wasn't going to mess with it. That's why I have a clone and images. Honestly I prefer clones over images as they are a LOT faster.

Thanks David.

To test I allowed Edge to update and it was again broken. Used the fix you linked and all was well without even needing to restart the system. All I needed was the first registry hack:
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Edge and delete the MetricsReportingEnabled key

The second hack was not needed as:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Policies \ Microsoft \ Edge
did not have the MetricsReportingEnabled key.

I've had this happen to me, I just put the system into restart and everything was working again OK.
