Microsoft Edge Browser Not Starting

I tried a bunch of stuff. Tried uninstall through cmd and reinstall. Nothing worked.

Then I did this.
Try this first. It may be only thing needed.
Browse the Registry to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge key
In the right pane, remove the MetricsReportingEnabled value if you have it there

Now, switch to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge branch.
Again, look for the MetricsReportingEnabled value and delete it.

If above doesn't fix then do this.
Install Edge through the app store.

Curl, Wget, Winget & Powershell Install or Download Commands

After the mess I made in previous posts this summary might be useful.     Thanks PatchMyPC, the great and powerful program downloader and up...
