Microsoft Edge error message keeps popping up and will not go away

Question

An error message keeps popping up in a separate window saying that Edge has stopped working, even when Edge is open and working fine. When I either hit "X" or "Close program," the box opens back up again. I have tried closing the box through the Task Manager, but even then, the box will open itself back up again. If I close Edge and then close the pop-up box, it will stay closed, but then when I re-open Edge, the pop-up box opens up again. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing Edge, but this has not fixed the issue, and neither has restarting my PC. 

The version of Edge I am running: Version 87.0.664.60 (Official build) (64-bit)

The version of Windows 10 I am running: Windows 10 Home 20H2 19042.685

This is the error box i am receiving by the way.

Greetings ChrisRuggiero1

Thank you for you swift response,

If issue persist you need to perform the Repair Upgrade this will re-install the Windows without affecting your files and apps, it will repair and replace any corrupted system files.

Here's the steps.

Step 1: Download Media Creation Tool from Microsoft.

Step 2: Run MediaCreationTool.exe.

Step 3: Choose "Upgrade this PC now".

Step 4: Select "Keep personal files and apps".

Step 4: Let it install

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe, i'll look forward for your response.

This solution worked and the message no longer pops up. 

One thing about Windows that I have noticed that is different since using the Media Tool is that when I am signing in, it now shows the Home Screen with the date and time, then when I click or hit space to sign in, the screen shows my user name and a button labeled "Sign in," and I have to click it, wait about a minute of it saying "Just a moment" and then a little box pops up for me to put my password in. 

The way it used to be was that when I clicked on the Home Screen, it used to take me to the login page and it would have my username and a place to enter my password right under my username, without me first needing to click a "sign in" button. Is this a new Windows feature ad/or is there a way to change this?

Good Day ChrisRuggiero1,

I appreciate your time getting back to this thread I am so glad to know that the Edge is working perfectly fine now.

With regards to the sign in issue you can provide a feedback to Microsoft developers about that feature so that they can check if it they can add it on their next update.

Even my computer has that feature now.

To provide feedback, click start the type Feedback Hub.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe, please let me know if you have further question, I will be more than happy to help.

Sincerely,

Carlo T.
