• Improved error messages when browser login fails.

Known Issues

• Tabs sometimes seem crowded or too small, even when there are only a few. This is most often caused by clicking a link in a different program that opens a new tab in Edge, and can usually be fixed by resizing the tab strip, for example by resizing the window.
• Users of Kaspersky Internet Suite with the associated extension installed may sometimes see web pages such as Gmail not loading.This error is caused by the fact that Kaspersky's core software is outdated and therefore can be fixed by making sure the latest version is installed.
• Some users are seeing duplicate bookmarks after some previous fixes in that area. The most common way to trigger this is by installing Edge's stable channel and then signing in with an account that is already signed in to Edge. Fixing this should be easier now that the deduplication tool is available. However, duplication has also been seen when running the deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has had a chance to fully sync their changes, so while we wait for some of the fixes they've made to make it to Stable , make sure you leave plenty of time between runs of the deduplicator. We hope this will improve now that version 81 is released to Stable.
• After an initial fix recently, some users are still experiencing Edge windows turning completely black.Opening the browser's Task Manager (keyboard shortcut is shift + esc) and killing the GPU process usually fixes it. Note that this only seems to affect users with certain hardware and is most easily triggered by resizing an Edge window.
"
• Some users see wobble behavior>"
• There are some issues where users with multiple audio output devices sometimes do not receive any sound from Edge. In one case, Edge is muted in Windows Volume Mixer and turning it on fixes it. In another, restarting the browser fixes it.

Remember that this version already shows the improvements that have previously been tested within the Canary Channel. You can now download the new Edge at this link on any of the channels on the platforms on which it is available. If you already have it installed, just go to preferences within the browser and check if you have any pending updates.
