Microsoft Edge opens then crashes and wont re open, Q & A states to open settings and modify edge but both modify & uninstall are greyed out, why is this?

Microsoft Edge | Browser crashes or stops working | Windows 11

    If the Modify option is disabled in the Installed Apps section of the Settings app, try using the Edge installer from this link to re-install Edge on top of itself to see if that resolves the problem.
