Windows 10: Update on Stable channel releases for Microsoft Edge

Brink · Mar 20, 2020

In light of current global circumstances, the Microsoft Edge team is pausing updates to the Stable channel for Microsoft Edge. This means that Microsoft Edge 81 will not be promoted to Stable until we resume these updates.

We are making this change to be consistent with the Chromium project, which recently announced a similar pause due to adjusted schedules, and out of a desire to minimize additional impact to web developers and organizations that are similarly impacted.

We will continue to deliver security and stability updates to Microsoft Edge 80. Preview channels (Canary, Dev, and Beta) will continue to update on their usual schedule.

As the situation evolves, we will post updates here and on our Twitter channel.

Microsoft Edge and the Windows release cycle

The next version of Microsoft Edge features more frequent and more flexible updating capabilities. Because browser releases aren't bound to the Windows major releases, changes will be made to the operating system to ensure that the next version of Microsoft Edge fits seamlessly into Windows. As a result, feature updates will be released on a 6-week cycle (approximately.) Security and compatibility updates will be shipped as needed.

Updates and the user experience

Updates won’t change the user experience until the Stable channel of the next version of Microsoft Edge is installed. Installing Microsoft Edge Beta, Dev, or Canary won’t trigger any changes in Windows. These browser releases will be installed alongside existing browsers.

When all the updates are applied AND the Stable channel of the next version of Microsoft Edge is installed at the system-level, the following changes will take effect on the system:

All start menu pins, tiles, and shortcuts for the current version of Microsoft Edge will migrate to the next version of Microsoft Edge.

All taskbar pins and shortcuts for the current version of Microsoft Edge will migrate to the next version of Microsoft Edge.

The next version of Microsoft Edge will be pinned to the taskbar. If the current version of Microsoft Edge is already pinned, it will be replaced.

The next version of Microsoft Edge will add a shortcut to the desktop. If the current version of Microsoft Edge already has a shortcut, it will be replaced.

Most protocols that Microsoft Edge handles by default will be migrated to the next version of Microsoft Edge.

Current Microsoft Edge will be hidden from all UX surfaces in the OS, including settings, all apps, and any file or protocol support dialogs.

All attempts to launch the current version of Microsoft Edge will redirect to the next version of Microsoft Edge.
Note: User-level installs won’t trigger these behaviors.

Along with the previous changes, there are changes that will happen regardless of whether the Stable channel of the next version of Microsoft Edge is installed.

Microsoft Edge will de-register for the books and XML protocols that the next version of Microsoft Edge doesn't support. Users attempting to open these protocols will get a dialog that prompts them to choose a default app. Learn more about changes to books support at Download an ePub app to keep reading e-books.

Microsoft Edge doesn't get updated with Windows updates

I want to update to the latest stable release of EdgeHTML.
Click to expand...

If you want the current stable release of EdgeHTML, it means you must upgrade your installation, to Windows 10 1709 or Windows 10 1803. EdgeHTML 17 is technically the current version, but EdgeHTML 16, is considered the current stable version.

Windows 10 April 2018 Update includes EdgeHTML 17

What's new in EdgeHTML 17

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update includes EdgeHTML 16

What's new in EdgeHTML 16

Is there a way to download a manual patch?
Click to expand...

You can manually download the current 1709 or 1803 Windows 10 ISO. However, EdgeHTML 16 and EdgeHTML 17, can only run on their respected versions.

In other words, it is not possible to update EdgeHTML 15, which is included in the Windows 10 Creators Update (1703), to a newer version unless you upgrade Windows to the respected version.

I regularly apply Windows updates, but the browser hasn't been getting
updated automatically, despite the fact that it's the only way I know
of to update the browser.

If you have installed all the currently released cumulative updates for Windows 10 Version 1703 then you have the current version of EdgeHTML 15. If you have KB4103731 installed, then you are running 15063.1088, which means you are using the current version of EdgeHTML 15.
