    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    What is the exact error message you see when you open the Microsoft Edge web browser?

    Have you tried repairing the Microsoft Edge browser before?

    • Go to Start > Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.
    • Locate Microsoft Edge, click the three horizontal dots, and select Modify.
    • Then, select Repair.

    ====================================================================

    If you are still having issues,

    • Uninstall Edge:

    Open PowerShell as Administrator.

    Run the command below here to Uninstall Edge. (1st command)

    cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\147.0.3912.72\Installer"

    2nd command: 

    
.\setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall

    Replace 147.0.3912.72 with the version of the Edge browser installed on your device.

    • To install Edge, go to

    Let me know if you still need more help.
