I have seen on many threads on other websites that this is a very common issue at the moment with Windows 10. When I try to open Edge it opens for about 1 second, if that, and immediately closes. No error or anything. I read that some people have figured out that it is because Edge makes the home page a summary of the different apps in Windows 10 (Sports, Money, etc.) and Edge trying to load it all causes the crash. I tried a suggestion of opening all of the apps that would be loaded in the home page in advance and then opening Edge, but it made no difference. I was hoping someone else might have some ideas about what to do. It worked for the first week or so after I upgraded and then this issue appeared out of nowhere. Thanks for any help.

I had the same issue on a company computer where updating the OS version is not an option.

Following the steps described here solved the issue:

  1. Open regedit
  2. go to location as below

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

  1. right click folder "microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" at the left panel, and click Permission.

  2. select third Unknown account (S-1-15-3-3624051433 ....)

  3. You will see only Read permission is selected. Let's check "All permission".
  4. Click OK and close the window.

  • Thanks for the info. The issue actually resolved itself when Microsoft issued an update for 10. Thanks though.
