Serious Discussion Microsoft Edge Stable (Chromium) Now Available for Download

[cambell7]

yep, you are not alone.

 

[Jan Willy]

No problem here.

 

[Cortex]

I just had the same problem. Seems the servers work at overtime.

Same here, now it's just checking for updates continually without the error so that's something, I was considering reinstalling Edge until i read this

 

[Cortex]

As if by magic it's updated! Must have been me stripping the PC down reseating the CPU & polishing the RAM sticks that did it?

 

[Divine_Barakah]

Edge, in its current performance, is never going to be my main browser. Each time I launch it, I hear fan noise which lasts for maybe 15 secs and it only happens with Edge. Vivaldi checked all the boxes but I wish they offered iOS version. Thus, Firefox is my main browser.

When check for update in edge about I have firewall rules allow to port 80,443 for Microsoft Edge Update (microsoftedgeupdate.exe) and Microsoft Edge (msedge.exe) got this error

An error occurred while checking for updates: Unable to connect to the Internet. If you use a firewall, please allowlist MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe. (error code 7: 0x800421F7 -- system level).

Error 0x800421f7 - The update server is busy, try again later.

I think that at the moment all we can do is wait?

EDIT: Edge just got updated to Version 90.0.818.39 for me.

After a few tries mine got updated too

OK, it did manage to update after MANY tries, plus the MS Store hasn't opened since last night--it's still down on here.

Has anyone seen this? I made a very short video. Weird. Note: The video is Unlisted. Just click on the "Watch this video on YouTube" link if you want to view it. I've tried to set to Public and upload to other sites and it takes too long.

I would like to suggest just trying "re-install" Edge, but you probably already tried or ?

Here on my laptop, I had no issues, Edge auto-updated successfully as always

 

[blackice]

I have the firewall error as well.

Yes, that thought was there but so far, just that one page on the slideshow was strange, everything else is OK so far.

Odd that Edge update issues are affecting some and not everyone. Hopefully there will be an explanation soon.

 

[show-Zi]

I am getting an error regardless of the update.
Another pc is unable to update the edge with the same error.

Japanese bulletin boards are also a little lively on this topic. There was also an opinion that it might be the influence of kb5001330 distributed a few days ago.

 

[blackice]

So I had to restart my system for a different reason and it was updated when I opened Edge, despite still showing the error. It even had the 'what's new in Edge' tab when I opened it.

Perhaps it has something to do with the removal of legacy Edge.

Edit:
So far legacy Edge survived in Windows-Sandbox. Now it's also gone there.
Replaced by MS Edge.

A lot of people are having the problem that Edge will not update to version 90 today.
Hopefully, Microsoft has noticed that and will fix it for all of us.

I have heard of four options you can try.

• retry a few minutes later, that option worked for me.
• restart your system and the update gets installed.
• terminate Microsoft Edge Update service using Task Manager, close the browser and then relaunched it.
• download the offline installer from here: Download Microsoft Edge for Business - Microsoft

Or like Woody and Gunther advised, just wait.

Edge appears to be having a Friday meltdown @ AskWoody

Curious, how does for Business differ from for Home?

I really don't know, but it is the only offline installer available.
