After updating my Windows 10 machine, my Microsoft Edge browser now shuts instantly as if I were using the azdministrator login and so I cannot browser the web unless I use IE.

It is following whatever update the system did this morning which added some new features, one of which appears to be the browser no longer opens.

Presumably this is connected to Edge not running as local admin but I am not any kind of admin anyway -m this is a domain computer.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

I have tried:

Get-ChildItem 'HKCU:\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Children' | foreach {Remove-Item $_.pspath -Recurse}

Which deletes all of the subtrees of Children and makes no difference


1.Press Windows key + X and open the Command Prompt (Admin)
2.In the Command Prompt, type in Powershell and press Enter
3.Paste the following line into the PowerShell window and press Enter ◦Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
4.Wait until it’s completed, and C:\Users\yourusername> will appear on the screen when the process is completed
5.Reboot your computer and try to open Edge again

Which makes no difference.

Just to update anyone interested on this - I can access Edge if I open a page that returns a 403 error:



Once in I cleared all of the history and changed the home page but none of this has had any impact

Has anyone got any further suggestions?

Currently I am using a non-working page as the home page just to get Microsoft Edge running!!!

Nice!!!

Have you run SFC /scannow in a administrator privileged command prompt?

This should replace any incorrect files in the system
