Version Symptom Workaround Comment
137 Starting in Microsoft Edge Stable version 137.0.3296.52, customers may encounter unexpected leading spaces in the browser window title, which can break automation workflow for non-English language environments. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 137.0.3296.58. 
136 Starting in Microsoft Edge Stable version 136.0.3240.50, some text isn't displayed, and rendering is broken when viewing certain PDF files containing Japanese fonts. Note: This issue occurs when the system has fonts with Japanese file names installed. This issue only occurs with the new Adobe Acrobat powered built-in PDF reader. Enterprise administrators can temporarily avoid the issue by disabling the NewPDFReaderEnabled policy. Each user can also temporarily avoid the issue by disabling the New PDF Viewer in edge://flags/#edge-new-pdf-viewer. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 136.0.3240.92. 
136 On the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page (NTP), customers may see differing feeds.  Even when NTP policies are configured, users may have the Discover or My Feed selected.  The NTP issue and Microsoft 365 admin center configuration issue have been fixed.
136 For users with the 'Auto hidden' sidebar visibility setting, their Outlook or Teams link may not be showing the sidepane content as expected. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 137.0.3296.52. 
136 Microsoft Editor (spell checker) doesn’t offer suggestions for misspelled words The issue was identified in Microsoft Editor. Users that need spell checking assistance, can rely on the Basic functionality. This can be enabled under edge://settings/languages or via Group Policy using the MicrosoftEditorProofingEnabled policy. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 136.0.3240.64. 
135 Customers may see an issue where the first-run experience (FRE) page edge://welcome-new-device opens and fails with an error message page that doesn't close. This occurs when FRE is disabled and might be triggered suddenly after upgrade. Roll back Microsoft Edge to version 134.0.3124.95 or modify the HideFirstRunExperience policy to “0”. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 135.0.3179.85. 
134 Starting in version 134, customers may encounter an issue that affects extensions that bring up a window. The extension may get paused in the background if the window is minimized or occluded if the extension is meant to keep running at all times. Enterprise administrators can avoid the issue by disabling the Sleeping Tabs feature using the SleepingTabsEnabled policy, or by adding the extension path in the SleepingTabsBlockedForUrls. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 136.0.3240.92. Also, see Edge v134 Sleeping Tabs feature affects the UiPath extensions 22.10, 23.4 and 23.10, for more information
134 Some customers may unexpectedly start seeing the sidepane open with context for their Teams and Outlook links. In Edge 134, a bug fix introduced a regression where if the sidebar was turned off (not visible), Edge would auto-open Teams or Outlook context in the sidepane. Users can manually toggle off the auto-open context experience in Edge settings (Copilot and sidebar/App and notification settings/Teams + Outlook). This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 136.0.3240.50.
134 Enterprise users with Multifactor Authentication (MFA) and Conditional Access (CA) may see popups when they start the Microsoft Edge browser. Recognizing the broad impact this issue is having, Microsoft is working to temporarily mitigate this issue through the Experimentation and Configuration Service (ECS). To receive the mitigation, admins should either not configure the ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl policy or set the policy to "FullMode" or "ConfigurationsOnlyMode".
134 Enterprise users with MFA and CA may not have Single Sign-on (SSO) with Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. The user may see a "sign in" button. The user may see a "sign in" button when they try to use Copilot.
134 Customers may not be able to start the Microsoft Edge browser programmatically using --inprivate and --app (application mode) via the command line because the browser crashes. Customers can start the browser using "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" https://www.contoso.com --inprivate. Alternatively, they can roll back to Microsoft Edge version 133.0.3065.92. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 134.0.3124.83.
133 Customers may not be able to start the sync functionality or open AIP-protected PDF files in Microsoft Edge. A bug in version 133 caused excessive traffic to the MIP service. For sync: "sign out (keeping locally saved data)" then "sign in" again. For AIP-protected PDFs, use Azure Information Protection Viewer. This issue is fixed in Microsoft Edge stable release 133.0.3065.69. Note: For some users, it may still be necessary to sign out and sign in again.
130 In version 130.0.2849.46, nonspecial scheme URL handling was updated to align with the URL Standard, which may affect site compatibility. Don't configure or set ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl to "FullMode" or "ConfigurationsOnlyMode". Alternatively, roll back to version 129.0.2792.89. Microsoft temporarily disabled this feature via ECS. A browser restart is needed. A code change in version 130.0.2849.80 also disables it if ECS is blocked by policy. Note: Re-enabled in version 133.0.3065.10+.
124 Specific HTTPS websites may show ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED or ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Linked to the "TLS 1.3 hybridized Kyber support" feature. Disable Kyber via edge://flags/#enable-tls13-kyber. Enterprises can use the PostQuantumKeyAgreementEnabled policy. Registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] (DWORD) "PostQuantumKeyAgreementEnabled"=0 This workaround is temporary and will be removed in future versions. Disabling weakens TLS security.
121 Specific HTTPS websites may show ERR_SSL_KEY_USAGE_INCOMPATIBLE, caused by enforcing X.509 key usage extensions. Set the RSAKeyUsageForLocalAnchorsEnabled policy. Registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] (DWORD) "RSAKeyUsageForLocalAnchorsEnabled"=0 This policy isn't effective in Microsoft Edge version 124 and later.
120 Microsoft Edge opens HTTP URLs as HTTPS when the server supports HTTPS. This is due to the "HttpsDefault" feature. Use the HttpsUpgradesEnabled policy to disable automatic HTTPS. Previously, the AutomaticHttpsDefault policy was used, but it has been deprecated in Microsoft Edge version 136. Registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] (DWORD) "HttpsUpgradesEnabled"=0. To disable per-site, use InsecureContentAllowedForUrls.
119 Specific HTTPS websites may show ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR due to removal of SHA-1 in TLS handshakes. Set InsecureHashesInTLSHandshakesEnabled policy. Registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] (DWORD) "InsecureHashesInTLSHandshakesEnabled"=1 This policy was removed in version 124+. Enabling this increases impersonation risk.
