The answer, for me was setting the following reg key in the task sequence prior to Edge installing Microsoft Edge works best with the latest Windows Updates Error from edge

Microsoft Edge install issues on some computers from MicrosoftEdge Not quite as bad as “the task failed successfully” – but not far off.įortunately, Dr google provided some assistance The error is in no way actually helpful… it doesn’t specify what updates i am supposedly missing… so doesn’t actually help with troubleshooting in anyway.The install works on thousands of other machines – but just has a smattering where it doesn’t with this error.The device has all current Windows updates applied.Once you download updates and restart your device, rerun the installer. Microsoft Edge works best with the latest Windows Updates. This means Notepad, Paint and other native Windows apps will now be able to receive new features and upgrades automatically via the Microsoft Store, rather than needing to wait for Windows 11 features.When installing, seemingly randomly i will get the following in the application event log and msi log for CrEdge These popular first-party apps become separate Store-updateable applications on Windows 11, with their own section and page on the Microsoft Store. In addition to Edge, Microsoft is also bringing Notepad and Paint to the Store. Other apps and browsers coming to Windows 11 store

Mozilla has also confirmed that it’s planning to publish its Firefox browser in the Windows 11 store. According to support documents, all Chromium-based browsers are allowed, so it’s likely that Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi and other Chromium browsers will also make their way to Windows 11 app store soon. This is exciting because it shows that Windows 11’s app store will finally support all desktop apps, as Microsoft promised during the event. The current extension store isn’t going away, which means users can download and install extensions from both stores. In the preview builds, typing in ‘Edge’ in the search bar of the Microsoft Store will show a few new extensions designed for the Chromium version of the browser. The Store in Windows 11 will also allow users to download web extensions for Microsoft Edge.
