Hi,
So edge is crashing. In fact it crashed four times as I tried to write this. This is very frustrating as I have essays to write. So when I went into edge's settings, and looked for an update this is what it said:
An error occurred while checking for updates: Unable to connect to the Internet. If you use a firewall, please allow list MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe. (error code 7: 0x80072EFD -- system level).
I went into my firewall, and allowed edge, but could not find MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe.
So yeah, what do I do,

Yeah nope that didnt work. A popup came up when I tried to download that says:
Another installation is in progress. You must complete that installation before continuing this one.
I cannot remeber what that one is though.

The best option is to download the offline installer for Edge and use that to install the latest version of Edge on top of itself to try to stabilize Edge.
