I recently upgraded to Microsoft Edge Version 105.0.1343.25 only to find that it would not launch.
The fix according to a page I found on the interweb, which worked for me, was to delete the MetricsReportingEnabled registry key in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
You may need to do the same in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
The issue may have been caused by a piece of software called ShutUp 10. This seems quite probable as I know I used this software.
If you use ShutUp10 , ensure you are using the latest version.
