Edge wont launch.

My edge browser kept crashing so I did a system restore. This said it hadn't completed so did it in safe mode and that worked. Now edge wont even launch. Also cant open windows setting which most solutions I have found require as a start point.

My suggestion would be to perform an in-place upgrade repair. That is to say...... upgrade it again, overtop of itself from within your current install, just double click setup.exe in the installation media. Just be sure to check the little box to get updates as part of the upgrade process.
That will generally keep all your programs, data, drivers and such safe, but.....
I would still create a disk image before going forward.

Installation media can be obtained here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10


If you already have the ISO you can simply mount it from within Windows 10 and run setup.exe from there.

Neosmart has a pretty good article on it here https://neosmart.net/wiki/windows-10-repair-installation/
You can skip the first couple paragraphs where they are promoting their recovery CDs and drill down to the meat of the article below.

I have done an in-place repair - an hour ago but still have the problem.

Perform the four steps that @davehc describes in his post here.

None of the suggestions found through google worked but Microsoft quickly sorted this as due to something called rapport installed , no idea where that cam from, must have been bundled with something, anyway edge up and running now thanks everyone.
