Please check:

C:\Scripts C:\ProgramData C:\Users\Public

for _ie_to_edgestub.exe

If it exists, remove the file, then relaunch MSER

[rcmaehl]

If you've already installed MSER, do the previous steps and also delete

_HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\ie_to_edgestub.exe

from the registry

(or just remove and reinstall MSER)

Should I also delete it from program files?

No, it can be left there as that location is not checked.

Seems that is fixed but now when I go on edge and then X out it boots up edge again. This only happens when MSER is downloaded.

Known issue with 0.7.5.0. Working on a release this weekend to address this. Try the ". . ." menu -> Close Edge

Thank you. Is the best way to update by deleting and then installing the new exe or using a deployment?

When MSER is ran, it will automatically check for updates about 10% of the time. Just running the newest version from the downloads page should be a good enough update.

If you're using Chocolately or WinGet for deployment they should update fine as long as they have appropriate permissions.
