Windows 10: All browsers except Microsoft Edge immediately close upon opening. What do I do?

All of my browsers except Microsoft Edge close immediately after opening it. There are not crash reports, nothing under reliability history and nothing under process monitor. Almost as if its crashing with nothing being logged anywhere. I tried reinstalling. Even installed a brand-new browser and upon starting it up for the first time it also failed immediately. I specifically tried the following: Chrome, Opera GX, Firefox and Brave, with this situation affecting chrome and firefox for months now specifically. What can I do?

windows edge opens then closes immediately

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

From what you have mentioned, it looks like Microsoft Edge is set as the default browser. I would suggest you to try the steps below to set Internet Explorer as the default browser and check if you are able to open the PDF file.

1. Press Windows key + I to open settings.

2. Click "system" and click "default apps" on the left pane.

3. Under "browser", if Microsoft Edge is listed, click on it and choose Internet Explorer from the list.

Also, for Microsoft Edge crash related issue, please follow the steps given below to run powershell command.

Powershell is a scripting language for Windows and Windows Server that allows you to simplify the management of your systems.

1. Type powershell in the search bar

2. Right click on PowerShell and select
run as administrator

3. Copy and paste the following command and press enter:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

4. Once the command is completed successfully, restart the computer and check again.

Let us know the result.

 

Microsoft Edge opens briefly and immediately closes

The apparent fact that this problem (Microsoft Edge opening and then immediately closing) has no solution is very disturbing to me. It shakes my confidence in Microsoft!!!
