Thanks. The issue is quite serious but harmless as long as a user doesn't uninstall it. Push the fix to the stable build quickly if possible.

So I just got bit by this bug this morning, as far as I can tell I was on the latest build available via scoop. Now I'm running the Edge repair/uninstaller to see if it can fix that

Just download and install the offline installer from here and everything will be normal again: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download
