@CharlesLiaoO From all the reports that have been made, we can conclude that Chrome and some Chromium based browsers are broken on WSA.

The Edge I mentioned is the app in Windows, not the Android app in WSA.

Will WSABuild change system proxy or something like that? If I switch system proxy enable, reconnect network or/and restart Edge, this problem disappear temporarily but reoccur after about 30s.

@CharlesLiaoO , thank you for the clarification. Does this issue stop when WSA is no longer running. WSA does not modify the System Proxy as far as I know.

Screenshots or a video would be helpful in helping me grasp the issue.

Finally, I got the key of this issue.

It's the feature "Share user folders" of WSA affects the Edge's error. By the way, Chrome and Firefox don't have this issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Install WSABuilds

2. Open WSA setting, turn on the feature "Share user folders"

3. Open File in WSA setting to trigger that feature to ON

4. Open Edge browser, open a web page.

Now the Edge cannot reach the page. To avoid this issue, you need to turn that feature off AND reboot your PC.

Unfortunately, without being able to reproduce the issue, I cannot help.
