Process Monitor didn’t suggest a cause, but since I have Edge running on some of my server VMs and never saw this issue, I suspected something Citrix-specific, so most likely the Citrix hooks, and indeed … Fix: disable all Citrix hooks for the msedge.exe process. The Edge window remained blank/white for at least 45 seconds, up to 60 seconds, before the new tab landing page (or home page, if configured) ever appeared.

Fix: disable the “Use hardware acceleration when available” option, either in the app’s settings or (most easily) via group policy.

A little blank window entitled something like “Page isn’t responding” would soon appear after launch and the launch was stalled until the window was dismissed.

Installs fine, but there were two consistent issues when the app was launched (I’d expect the same issues on Server 2019, and possibly on Win10 VDAs): Recently, Jacques Bensimon installed Edge (from the “Edge for Business” MSI download) on a Windows Server 2016 VDA and filed this report.

I love Chrome but there is no denying Internet Explorer in the enterprises.
