Microsoft Edge Chromium Portable Download
Rancul Ratha
For now, you can download the MSIs that are available here: and deploy them using SCCM leveraging its general capabilities for that ( -us/DeployEdge/deploy-edge-with-configuration-manager ). We are actively looking at improving the experience for managing Microsoft Edge updates in SCCM, but the above should get you started.
I installed it yesterday and Microsoft chromium worked fine. Ccleaner cleared all chromium boxes and now today it skipped all of Microsoft chromium. I went back in a second time and it did the same thing. What's wrong?
I used the browser then I reset it to it's default state so when I ran Ccleaner it said that it was forcing edge to close and it still skipped all edge components. I will try again and go into task manager. The part I don't understand is that it worked fine yesterday when I installed it. Is anyone else having this problem? I noticed that it was in my startup apps and the only way it would work correctly is if I left it in the startup. Doesn't that mean it is always on? Thanks
Yes it is the new edge not the old edge. I just downloaded it 2 days ago and noticed it in my startup apps and it said it had a big effect on my startup. Not to repeat myself but when I shut it off in my startup apps and restarted it went right to the edge web page . The only way it stopped doing that was when I turned it back on in my startup apps. I don't know of any other way to turn it off.
Thanks , to all who responded! It took awhile but I finally got it to work. I shut it off in two different places and then I have to reset ccleaner to it's defaults then run it the first box that pops up don't check it but when it asks to force edge to close check that box and it works . Will it damage ccleaner if I have to reset it to it's defaults on a daily basis? Stupid Microsoft! Yes I just download the new edge 3 days ago.
The fact that it's still asking to close Edge, especially to Force close it, indicates that something in your Edge is still not closing (properly), probably extensions or push notifications.

Thanks, for your response! I messed with it all day yesterday and the only way it would work is if I reset ccleaner and then the first box opened not sure what it was I did not check that box but when the second one opened I had to check the box to force edge to close then it would work. You are correct edge chromium needed to be closed before it would work. However, the good news is ccleaner had a new update today and so far it worked perfectly. Hope it continues this way. Thanks for the heads up on the new Microsoft version 2004. Thank-you .Ccleaner thanks for the update today!
Actually it worked yesterday with no problems but today I had to reset ccleaner to clean the chromium browser. I can live with that for now. Maybe the next ccleaner update will fix it. It definitely has to do with the chromium browser staying on. I have been in a Microsoft group and they are trying to help me with the method to turn off the chromium browser. Glad you have 2004 installed. I think I will wait a bit.
2. Edge apparently has an option to allow it to run in the background, even when it's closed and is not in the task bar.
Solution - right click on the edge icon that's on the right side of the task bar (sometimes hidden inside an icon that looks like and upside down v (^), after you right click on it, you'll see and option to allow it to run in the background. Uncheck that, and run again. Also, make sure chrome is closed or it will be skipped also. This background option is probably in the settings menu too, in case you can't find it the way I did in the task bar.
I restored Windows on a PC and re-set up Edge with my account but the Syncronisation was constantly stuck at "Setting up Sync". I literally tried everything to work out what the problem was. I tried using the edge://sync-internals/ page within Edge to debug the problem. Nothing was showing as an error, the connection was silently failing and returning 0 updates from the server. I tried:
If anybody else is having a massive problem with Edge Syncronisation, BitDefender is the issue. Turn the protection off when you want to Sync. I tried to add "Windows.com" to the exclusion list, but checking the DNS route "edge.activity.windows.com" diverts dynamically to multiple server URL endpoints (I think as load management). This seems to stop the exclusion from allowing the Edge Synchronisation.
Thank you Sir. I was going on a holiday so I signed out of edge of my office PC. but after returning I was not able to sync again. My all passwords, favourites were inaccessible. I tried reinstalling edge. Restarting my PC multiple times. Start STOP SYNC multiple times. Waiting more than 24 Hours to get PC Edge SYNC itself. But everything failed. I was frustrated. Since I have only one PC I wasn't able to notice that it was the Bitdefender which was blocking the sync. It was not showing any notification so it was obvious that I didn't had a doubt on Bitdefender. After reading your post I disabled the protection on Bitdefender and then Stop Sync and Start Sync on edge. And it hardly took 10 seconds to get my old familiar browser back. Thank you Sir. Love you. Bitdefender should look into this issue. I cant imagine how many Bitdefender users would be suffering due to this unknowingly.
having the same issue here. adding the "edge.activity.windows.com" seems not working always and the sync stops from time to time and still have to disable the Bitdefender protection to make it work again.
Each extension needs a manifest.json that explains what the extension does, and what it requires. I created a skeleton manifest.json simply by copying the sample from docs.microsoft.com:
