Windows 10: The New Microsoft Edge Shortcut Not Working

Recently, I installed the new Microsoft Edge. But when I launch it, it doesn't seem to do anything. I opened file location and tried to open it there, but it says it's not available. I also tried to reinstall it. Is there tools that can fix applications from not launching?
