[German]Some Windows 10 users are facing real issues with Microsoft Edge. The browser suddenly doesn’t want to start, doesn’t work properly or crashes. Here are some possible solutions to solve the problem through various approaches, including registry changes.

Microsoft Edge is causing problems
Microsoft Edge ist used (according to this article), on 300 Million devices monthly. But this browser seems a nasty beast. Browsing forums I recognize Windows 10 users reporting issues with Microsoft Edge. Some times Edge won’t launch after an update. Or the browser crashes. This Technet forum thread discusses a crash after an upgrade to Windows 10 Creators Update. Here is a MS Anwers forum entry dated September 15, 2017, mention a sudden crash during normal operating.
A tip from a blog reader
Blog reader Dietmar H. contacted me a few days ago about an Edge issue (seem to be fixed with an update, see Windows 10 V1703: Update KB4040724 (09/25/17)). He wrote:
Today we spent an entire afternoon troubleshooting Edge not working (browser windows was gray and empty). All the “usual” fixes did not help. Then I found the following key HKCUSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSpartan REG_DWORD RAC_LaunchFlags 1. Afterwards the Edge worked again immediately. Do you know what the key mean?
Fix #1: Set RAC_LaunchFlags
Edge browser has a registry entry that is managed for each user account in the HKey_Current_User branch (the same entry may exist for the entire system under HKLM). Here are the steps to set the registry entry.
1. Open the registry editor regedit.exe (can be done from standard user accounts, just type regedit.exe in the search box of the taskbar and press Enter).
2. Navigate in the left-hand column of the registry editor to the key: HKey_Current_UserSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerSpartan

Since the subkey Spartan probably does not exist, you must create it again. Otherwise, skip the unnecessary steps.
3. Right-click the Internet Explorer subkey and choose New/Key from the context menu.
4. Then enter the key name Spartan and press Enter.
5. Once the new key name has been created, select it in the left-hand column of the registry editor.
6. In the right-hand column of the Registry Editor, right-click an empty area and choose New/DWORD value (32-bit) from the context menu.
7. Enter the name RAC_LaunchFlags and press Enter.
8. Select the DWORD 32-bit value RAC_LaunchFlags by double-clicking it and set the value to 1 .
Then close the dialog box using the OK button. The registry entry shown here should be visible.
Then the Microsoft Edge browser should start. The browser should work again. If that does not help, there is another problem. You can also try the approach described in this forum post and enter the following command in the Command Prompt window.
Important: This is a single command line and may be entered at a command prompt window.
The blog reader asked what the key RAC_LaunchFlags means. I don’t know more details – but the abbreviation RAC or RACAgent stands for reliability monitoring in Windows (see).
The value RAC_LaunchFlags =1 is also mentioned in this current Microsoft Answers forum post as a measure for edge problems.
Fix #2: Delete and reinstall Edge
Blog reader Leon has given me an approach for experienced users. Here are the steps to delete Edge.
1. Start Windows 10 in Safe mode and opens in Explorer the following folder: C:Users%username%AppDataLocalPackages
2. Search the packet MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe, right click it and select Properties.
3. Goto global tab and uncheck the Read-only attribute.
After these steps it should be possible to delete the package with Microsoft Edge (MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe). In a further step, Edge must now be reinstalled.
1. Open an administrative PowerShell window (enter PowerShell in taskbar’s search bar and use context menu command Run as administrator).
If everything works, Edge will now be reinstalled. After that you can restart Windows 10 in normal mode.
Fix #3: Reset Edge
One action that can help with problems with Edge is to delete the profile folder for each user and the global data folder. The Microsoft Edge profile folder can be found at:
This reinstalls Edge (see this forum entry and here). And here is a description how to reset Edge.
Other sources of trouble
A good summary of possible actions has been given by a user in this forum thread. In this Technet forum post a user mentions conflicting Software Restriction Policies from a previous build. Another source for trouble are third party antivirus software packages. Here McAfee Endpoint Security Suite is mentioned. Another user mentioned, deleting Favorites helped. The favorite folders are documented here. Also using the hints given within my blog post Check and repair Windows system files and component store may help.

In Windows 10, Microsoft is introducing many new features to make users more productive, such as a new Start menu, Cortana, new universal apps, Settings, which is the central place to configure the operating system, ultimately designed to replace Control Panel, and much more. The software giant is also introducing Microsoft Edge, the new default web browser built for the future web and to replace Internet Explorer (which it's still present for compatibility purposes).
Microsoft Edge is a completely new web browser with a minimal design that focus on web content, and like Chrome and Firefox, the software maker plans to match and surpass the features available from its competitors with extensions, web notes, tab preview, Cortana, and more.
While the web browser works quite alright without major problems, it's still in the early days. Some users may run into some issues, such as sudden crashes, slow performance, or simply it won't launch.
If you were running Chrome or Firefox, and you're having similar issues, you should try to uninstall and reinstall the web browser to try to resolve the problem. However, like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge is part of Windows 10. It's nearly impossible to uninstall the app, and even if you could, you might run into different issues.
If you are having problems with the new web browser, you can try resetting the instance of Microsoft Edge in your account to try to fix the issue you're having.
Of course, we would only recommend you do this as a last resort process, where you have tried everything else and nothing worked.
Warning: Using this guide might cause you lose your favorites, history, and settings. Before, you move forward, it's recommended that you perform a full backup or create a system restore point in case something goes wrong and to need to restore your last good known state of Windows 10.
Fixing Microsoft Edge
1- If you're running Microsoft Edge, close it.
2- Open File Explorer and type the following path into the address: C:UsersUseYourUsernameAppDataLocalPackages and hit Enter. (Remember to replace 'UseYourUsername' with your user account name.)
3- Select and try to delete the Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder as you would with any other folder. If you get a 'Folder Access Denied' prompt, simply click Continue. Also, there might be some content that you won't be able to delete. If this is the case, in the dialog box, select to skip the files.
You should be able to delete most of the content inside the folder, but if you can't right-click Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe, select Properties, remove the check from the Read-only option, and click Apply and OK.
4- Once you've tried deleting all the content, go inside the Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder and try deleting the remaining folders by selecting all the folders, right-clicking them, selecting Delete, and clicking Yes to confirm the deletion. You may notice that you can't delete AC folder, but that's alright.
5- Restart your computer.
6- Now, were going to re-register Microsoft Edge in your account. Open the Start menu, search for Windows PowerShell, right-click it from the result, and select Run as administrator.
7- Type the following command and hit Enter:
cd C:UsersUseYourUsername. (Remember to replace 'UseYourUsername' with your user account name.)
Then, type the following command exactly and hit Enter:
If the process was completed successfully, you would see a message similar to this one:
That's all there is to it. If you want to be cautious, restart your computer one more time, and then you should be able to run Microsoft Edge again and hopefully without any issues.
