Edge Fails to Launch beginning today 15 May 2026. I see an hourglass after launch. I temporarily see the app in Task Manager and it closes. Rebooting the pc doesn't resolve - same behaviour. Modify / Repair / Reinstall Edge - still same behaviour.
I have 6 processes using msedgewebview2.exe. I end process tree on them and they immediately relaunch. I do not know what is calling them.
Steps 1 - 9 provided by the AI do not solve the problem.
In AI-suggested Step 10. Since Edge won't launch I cannot run anything in side of Edge, including to get the policy.
I am in the UK and there is no option to uninstall Edge.
While I could collect logs and run a Procmon trace the AI help does not explain how to get further help from Microsoft Support or where to submit the logs.
