Check List

Install Type

Installed Mode

Today I updated a Hyper-V Windows 10 Insider system to the latest preview, When I tried to open a News and Interests entry, Google Chrome did open but it was on a blank page. I uninstalled MSEdgeRedirect and tried it again. This time MS Edge opened to the expected web page. I then re-installed MSEdgeRedirect and the Chrome opened to a blank page.

I have installed MsEdgeRedirecrt in Active mode with only Edge selected. I did try it in Service Mode and it behaves the same way.

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

⚠️ File Upload ⚠️

  1. Leave edge open
  2. Open Powershell
  3. Run gwmi Win32_Process | where { $_.name -like "msedge*.exe"} | Select-Object CommandLine | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize | Out-File $env:LOCALAPPDATA\MSEdgeRedirect\logs\edge.txt
  4. Open %localappdata%\MSEdgeRedirect\logs
  5. Attach the log files

Desktop (please complete the following information): edge.txt URIFailures.log AppSecurity.log

It had been running correctly until I installed the latest preview update

Add any other context about the problem here.

Hmm. I'll have to spin up a VM tomorrow when I have the chance. The fact that it's opening Chrome at all, means that it's passing some checks, but I'm assuming they changed some command line parameters

I'm having the same problem. It seems like links in News and Interests can only be successfully opened with Edge now. Perhaps you could create an exception, so that only News and Interests can be opened in Edge, until you figure out a better solution?

the big vulnerability

rcmaehl commented 2 years ago

Hi all,

I've installed KB5011831 and have been unable to reproduce. Please try the latest test build:

https://nightly.link/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect/workflows/MSER/main/mser.zip

I'm thinking they wiped the IFEO entries with the update as I had to reinstall MSER to enable some debugging but I'll need other people to check their registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\

I'm working on a troubleshooter for MSER to help diagnose these problems in the future.

I installed the updated MSER and it didn't improve the situation. Chrome does open when I click on a "News and Interests" entry but it is still on an essentially blank 'New Tab' page.

FWIW. I always have had to reinstall MSER after every update to the Edge browser since long before KB5011831 came on the scene and disrupted MSER's functioning. If I don't reinstall MSER, Edge crashes when I try to open it. It's no great loss since I use Chrome exclusively.

Also this only seems to happen on Windows 10. MSER continues to work as expected on even the latest insider build of Windows 11 (22616)

I'm not sure what you are looking for in the IFEO registry branch. I checked it both before and after installing the updated MSER and there seem to be a large number of entries. Is there a particular sub-entry you think the MS Edge install cleared?

I do see a MSER1 entry under "msedge.exe" that does point to MSER as a debugger.

I'm dumb.

I completely skimmed over the entire "News and Interests" part when I originally read the post. Can reproduce. Working on a patch.

This latest build works much better. The "News and Interests entries are displayed correctly in Chrome now.

Thanks.

It looks like you did leave a debug display which displayed the full URL that you passed to the system.

Sorry about that. It's now removed if you download the current test build
