Windows 10: apps won't open in Microsoft Edge in version 83.0.478.61 Official build 64-bit

apps won't open in Microsoft Edge in version 83.0.478.61 Official build 64-bit

Edge Stable Version 79.0.309.12 (Official build) (64-bit) Icon issue

Yes, I get the same in Edge Dev. The icon on the desktop and in the Start menu are taken from the .exe, as you'll see if you try to change the icon of the shortcut. In fact, it contains icons for all builds, Canary, Dev, Beta and Stable.





The taskbar shortcut is different, its icon is a .ico file. That has not been updated to the new logo. You can find it here:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\Default\Edge Profile.ico





It appears that the Edge Profile.ico was created in your AppData the first time you pinned the Edge to the taskbar while it had its old logo. Signing in as another user then pinning the now updated Edge to the taskbar gets the new logo and its properties point to the .exe as the source.

To change the old Taskbar Icon to the new logo, right-click on it, then right-click on Microsoft Edge and select Properties. Here you can change the icon to point to the .exe as its source. Sign out then back in for the change to take effect. This will bring it in line with what a new user would now see when pinning Edge to the taskbar.

 

REPAIR OF EDGE BROWSER FROM WINDOWS 10, 64 BITS VERSION

Step #1: Tell us what's wrong.

 

Edge Stable Version 79.0.309.12 (Official build) (64-bit) Icon issue

I did not say Official, but I should have mention where I got it from:
Seems Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge Stable Release is around the corner

It may be that whatever issues I get on this not yet official version should not be discussed. I leave it to the mods to decide to close the thread.

Cheers.
