Microsoft has pulled the Microsoft Edge 122.0.2365.63 update after users reported receiving "Out of memory" errors when browsing the web or accessing the browser settings.
Microsoft released Edge 122.0.2365.63 yesterday, and soon after, users began reporting across multiple sites that the browser was crashing repeatedly with memory errors.
Some of those affected cannot access the Settings page to turn this feature off as they receive the Out of Memory error instead. Since then, Microsoft has pulled the Edge 122.0.2365.63 update, with the latest version now 122.0.2365.59.
This release is not the first time this bug has popped up, with Microsoft Edge Canary users reporting the issue in recent builds.
Microsoft finally fixed the bug in Canary 124.0.2434.0, released yesterday, but appears to have forgotten to prevent the bug from making it into the Stable channel.
Make better diagrams with Microsoft Visio 2021 Pro for only $29.99.
