Microsoft Edge corrupt after installation of MBAM


Recommended Posts

While I cannot be certain, almost immediate after installation of Malwarebytes, the browser Microsoft Edge no longer works. It starts, freezes and crashes.  

I have read online that some others have had this problem and it may be related to exploit protection of Malwarebytes.  I tried turning that off but it has not worked.

I prefer to have Malwarebyes on my system rather than a working Edge so I am sticking this software.  It would be great if anyone knows anything about this.

Let's try and get some logs first so the team can review them and see if they can tell what may be causing your issues....
 

  1. FIRST: Create and obtain Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) logs
  2. Download FRST and save it to your desktop
    Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. You can check here if you're not sure if your computer is 32-bit or 64-bit
  3. Double-click to run FRST and when the tool opens click "Yes" to the disclaimer
  4. Press the "Scan" button
  5. This will product two files in the same location (directory) as FRST: FRST.txt and Addition.txt
    • Leave the log files in the current location, they will be automatically collected by mb-check once you complete the next set of instructions
  6. NEXT: Create and obtain an mb-check log
  7. Download MB-Check and save to your desktop
  8. Double-click to run MB-Check and within a few second the command window will open, press "Enter" to accept the EULA then click "OK"
  9. This will produce one log file on your desktop: mb-check-results.zip
    • This file will include the FRST logs generated from the previous set of instructions
    • Attach this file to your forum post by clicking on the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." or simply drag the file to the attachment area
