How to fix side-by-side-configuration (VDI)

Question

Hello everybody, i have currently the problem with microsoft ede. If i try to start it i get this error message: [Window Title] C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe [Content] C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe Diese Anwendung konnte nicht gestartet werden, da die Side-by-Side-Konfiguration ungültig ist. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im Anwendungsereignisprotokoll. Weitere Details können auch mit dem Befehlszeilentool sxstrace.exe angezeigt werden. [OK] But if i try to run this Edge from the folder: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\112.0.1722.48\112.0.1722.48\msedge.exe". It just works. After a restart i have to go back into the folder and create a shortcut for my Desktop. We are using a VDI and I am the only one, who is affected by this problem.

MS Edge update, Visal C++ 2015-2019 updated, Windows Update are not working.

SFC /scan can we not do because we are in VDI. I hope to get an answear.

Hi @svcAzureADSync ,

You can try performing a repair (or reinstallation) of Microsoft Edge/WebView2 in App & features or Control Panel, and make sure no instance of Edge (msedge.exe) or WebView2 (msedgewebview2.exe) are running at the same time. This was a known workaround back when Microsoft Edge version 109 had the same issue.
