  • Enabled by default the ability to search in the History popup using natural language (for example, “Youtube from last week”).

Note that updates to documentation and administrative templates may not have occurred yet.
  • IMPROVED RELIABILITY:
  • Fixed a crash on launch.
  • Fixed a crash when visiting certain websites.
  • Fixed a crash when adding items to Collections.
  • Fixed a crash when switching profiles in the Edge Bar.
  • Fixed a crash in WebView2 applications when adding Status Bar text (Issue 2414).
  • CHANGE BEHAVIOR:

  • Fixed an issue where the browser sometimes doesn’t respond to links clicked from other applications if it’s not already open.
  • Fixed an issue where the browser isn’t brought into the foreground if it’s minimized when clicking on a notification in the Windows Action Center.

  • Some users are still running into an issue where all tabs and extensions immediately crash with a STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH error. The most common cause of this error is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it.

  • Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other. Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices. This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag.

  • Management policies (note that updates to documentation and administrative templates may not have occurred yet):
  • Added a management policy to control if Edge Discover is Enabled, which controls if Bing is allowed to search in the background for content related to the current page.
  • Enabled support for management policies from Chromium to control Screen Capture in more granular ways: by setting Screen Capture Allowed By Origins, Window Capture Allowed By Origins, Tab Capture Allowed By Origins, and Same Origin Tab Capture Allowed By Origins.
  • Enabled support for management policies from Chromium to set Serial Allow All Ports For Urls and Serial Allow Usb Devices For Urls.

  • Fixed an issue where WebView2 apps sometimes don’t open and show an error that setup.exe cannot be found.
  • Changed behavior:
  • Improved PDF scrolling to reduce the amount of blank space while pages load.
  • Changed pinned tabs to always be full width when the tab strip is in the vertical orientation.
  • Fixed an issue on Mac where certain keyboard shortcuts override system keyboard shortcuts in certain languages.
  • Fixed an issue where the prompt to restore tabs is mistakenly shown after launching a PWA.
  • Fixed an issue where websites that use certificates on the local machine to log in fail to do so due to the certificate picker not popping up.
  • Fixed an issue where the translation popup doesn’t appear on pages that can be translated.
  • Fixed an issue where enabling certain accessibility features results in high memory and CPU use.
  • Fixed an issue where the number of blocked trackers in the Site Information flyout doesn’t display.

  • Fixed an issue where managed devices sometimes don’t open links from other apps.
  • Fixed an issue where saved passwords can’t be edited in Settings.
  • Known issues:
  • Users of certain ad blocking extensions may experience playback errors on YouTube. As a workaround, temporarily disabling the extension should allow playback to proceed. See this help article for more details.
  • Some users are still running into an issue where all tabs and extensions immediately crash with a STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH error. The most common cause of this error is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it.
  • Users of the Kaspersky Internet Suite who have the associated extension installed may sometimes see webpages like Gmail fail to load. This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed.
  • Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other. Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices. This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag.
