• Added an option to show or hide the Favorites bar from the Favorites management page.
• Added more alerts when Wachtwoord Monitor detects a compromised password.
• Added a management policy for Internet Explorer Integration Testing Allowed. Note that this policy only applies if IE mode is also enabled, and that updates to administrative templates and documentation will come at a later date.

• Enabled support for Default Sensors Setting, Sensors Allowed For Urls, and Sensors Blocked For Urls management policies from Chromium.
• Enabled a management policy for Insecure Form Warnings Enabled from Chromium.

Improved reliability:

• Fixed an issue where closing a window when some popups are open sometimes crashes the browser.
• Fixed a crash when using Read Aloud.
• Fixed an issue where opening the browser by clicking a link from another application sometimes causes the browser to immediately close again.
• Fixed an issue where opening Edge by clicking on a link from another application sometimes causes pages not to load and shows fout RESULT_CODE_MISSING_DATA.
• Fixed an issue where Edge sometimes sees a very fast increase in memory usage.
• Fixed an issue where selecting a OneNote notebook to export a Collection to sometimes fails.
• Fixed an issue where websites sometimes can’t be installed as apps.
• Fixed an issue where users signed into the browser with work or school accounts sometimes fail to log into work or school websites.
• Fixed an issue where clicking on a file’s entry on the Downloads shelf to open it sometimes fails.
• Fixed an issue where attempting to uninstall Edge Insider channels sometimes fails with a message to close any open Edge windows even though none are open.

Changed behavior:

• Improved scrolling behavior in PDFs.
• Improved the number of websites that can use the browser profile’s saved credentials to automatically log in while in IE mode.
• Fixed an issue where some devices cause webpages to scroll incredibly fast.
• Fixed an issue where windows sometimes flicker or rapidly switch between two visual states.
• Fixed an issue where Sidebar search is sometimes not available in PDFs.
• Fixed an issue on Mac where the Passwords management page in Settings sometimes is blank.
• Fixed an issue where the Wachtwoord Protection Login URLs and Wachtwoord Protection Change Wachtwoord URL management policies don’t work on Mac.
• Fixed an issue where some webpages incorrectly detect or display a message that they don’t work in Edge.
• Fixed an issue where suggestions that appear for URLs to visit when the typed URL doesn’t exist weren’t working.
• Fixed an issue where signing into the browser sometimes results in the profile picture not appearing.
• Fixed an issue where copying a page’s address from the address bar sometimes fails or puts the wrong data on the clipboard.
• Fixed an issue where the window control buttons sometimes overlap some of the tabs in Shy UI if many tabs are open.
• Fixed an issue where tabs can’t be selected in Shy UI.
• Fixed an issue where the new tab page is sometimes blocked by Family Safety settings.
• Fixed an issue where the address bar popup to allow third-party cookies sometimes doesn’t contain an option to do it right there and only contains a link to Settings.
• Fixed an issue where the caret browsing confirmation popup contains two identical checkboxes.

Known issues:

• Mac users running the OS 11 preview (Big Sur) may have issues with all versions of Edge either crashing or not launching to begin with. We’ve identified the issue and are working to get it resolved before Big Sur is officially released.
• Users of certain ad blocking extensions may experience playback errors on Youtube. As a workaround, temporarily disabling the extension should allow playback to proceed.
• Some users are still running into an issue where all tabs and extensions immediately crash with a STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_HASH fout. The most common cause of this fout is outdated security or antivirus software from vendors like Symantec, and in those cases, updating that software will fix it.
• Users of the Kaspersky Internet Suite who have the associated extension installed may sometimes see webpages like Gmail fail to load. This failure is due to the main Kaspersky software being out of date, and is thus fixed by making sure the latest version is installed.
• Some users are seeing favorites get duplicated after we made some previous fixes in that area. The most common way this is triggered is by installing the Stable channel of Edge and then signing into it with an account that has already signed into Edge before. Fixing this should be easier now that the deduplicator tool is available. However, we’ve also seen duplication happen when running the deduplicator on multiple machines before either machine has a chance to fully sync its changes, so while we wait for some of the fixes we’ve made to come to Stable, make sure to leave plenty of time in between runs of the deduplicator.
• After an initial fix for it recently, some users are still experiencing Edge windows becoming all black. Opening the Browser Task Manager (keyboard shortcut is shift + esc) and killing the GPU process usually fixes it. Note that this only appears to affect users with certain hardware and is most easily triggered by resizing an Edge window. For users with discrete GPUs, updating graphics drivers may help.
• Some users are seeing “wobbling” behavior when scrolling using trackpad gestures or touchscreens, where scrolling in one dimension also causes the page to subtly scroll back and forth in the other. Note that this only affects certain websites and seems to be worse on certain devices. This is most likely related to our ongoing work to bring scrolling back to parity with Edge Legacy’s behavior, so if this behavior is undesirable, you can temporarily turn it off by disabling the edge://flags/#edge-experimental-scrolling flag.
• There are some issues where users with multiple audio output devices sometimes don’t get any sound from Edge. In one case, Edge becomes muted in the Ramen Volume Mixer and unmuting it fixes it. In another, restarting the browser fixes it.

Update 86.0.615.3 (August 27, 2020)

Added features:

• Added the ability to use a pen to highlight PDFs.
• Added a setting for using a secure DNS.

• Enabled support for the Default Serial Guard Setting management policy from Chromium.
• Enabled support for the Serial Ask For Urls management policy from Chromium.
• Enabled support for the Serial Blocked For Urls management policy from Chromium.

Improved reliability:

• Fixed an issue where opening certain links from the New Tab Page in a new InPrivate window crashes the browser.

• Fixed an issue where an Edge hang sometimes causes the entire device to hang.

Changed behavior:

• Fixed an issue where certain websites like Discord don’t load.
• Fixed an issue where websites installed as apps sometimes open in regular tabs instead of their own tab-less windows.
• Fixed an issue where usernames are incorrectly identified as non-username fields or vice versa in autofill suggestion popups.
• Fixed an issue on Mac where the video Touchbar sometimes appears on pages without videos.
• Fixed an issue where refreshing a page after it’s been translated prevents it from being translated again.
• Fixed an issue where there is sometimes no dialog confirming that caret browsing mode is being turned off.
• Fixed an issue where clicking a link in a PDF that’s supposed to scroll it to a different location in the PDF doesn’t scroll it to the correct location.
• Fixed an issue where the Autofill popup sometimes doesn’t display completely.
• Fixed an issue where Guest windows are sometimes incorrectly detected as InPrivate windows.
• Fixed an issue where Read Aloud sometimes highlighted the wrong words when reading PDFs.
• Fixed an issue where exiting fullscreen sometimes causes the Tab band to become all black.
• Fixed an issue where certain context menu icons, such as for “Move tab to another window”, are missing.

Known issues:

• Mac users running the OS 11 preview (Big Sur) may have issues with all versions of Edge either crashing or not launching to begin with. We’ve identified the issue and are working to get it resolved before Big Sur is officially released.
