Hi, thanks for your report! I have fixed the bug in version 2.0.1.
It's been a couple years, but I think using the executable in the version folder caused issues with either updating (edge would not update) or the functionality of an already running edge process after a background update (new tabs would no longer function). It may be worth using Sysinternals Strings (or another tool) to see if there's alternative names that can be used.
Good to know, I'll see if I can find something. Another option would be to create the application folder where msedge.exe is located as a symlink. Edge seems to start from there at least. I'll test it to see how it behaves.

It doesn't work for me, Edge still doesn't start.
Does it work when you open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"? Which version of Edge is currently installed?
Which version of Edge is currently installed?
Version 142.0.3595.80 (Official build) (64-bit)
Does it work when you open "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe"?
Sorry, I've already deleted the tool. Maybe I'll check later.
