This issue should be fixed up in the latest beta, available here: https://www.displayfusion.com/Download/Beta. Please let me know if you still run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crash when moving Microsoft Edge window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#20 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 17:27:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#20 DisplayFusion >We do have a temporary fix coming for this in the next beta.

Thank you. We look forward to trying the beta when it's ready. ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crash when moving Microsoft Edge window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#19 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 14:22:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#19 DisplayFusion We do have a temporary fix coming for this in the next beta. For whatever reason, when Edge is removed from the Windows taskbar in 20H2, it causes explorer.exe to crash.

In 9.7.1 Beta 5, DisplayFusion won't remove Edge from the Windows taskbar when it's moved to another monitor, and once the fix from Windows Insider build 20226 has made it into a non-beta Windows update, we'll allow it to be removed again. ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crash when moving Microsoft Edge window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#18 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 11:03:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#18 DisplayFusion Same for me, 20H2 (Enterprise, 19042.572)... Edge 86.0.622.58 constantly making explorer.exe crash. Quit DisplayFusion and all is well...

I've actually just updated to insider build 20226 and the issue is gone, so Microsoft has fixed it up :)

Keep in mind that 20226 is a developer build for a new update out several months from now. 19042 is currently intended to be the final release of 20H2 and is expected to be released to the public this month so there's a good possibility the issue with DisplayFusion could continue to exist for awhile.
While I also use multiple browsers, Edge is important enough for various reasons that I'm having to give up DisplayFusion for now. I purchased a single license for DisplayFusion 9 years ago so I'm sure I already got my money's worth, but nevertheless, I'm still disappointed having to potentially give up the software until the next major Windows update comes out maybe 6-7 months from now. ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crash when moving Microsoft Edge window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#14 Mon, 05 Oct 2020 22:56:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#14 DisplayFusion

For now, I have gone back to Chrome for the items in my right monitor. I understand that may not be as easy for some, as it is for me, to swap back and forth between browsers.

Windows 10 20H2 (19042.546) - Release preview ring. The exact same crash when moving Microsoft Edge to second monitor. There was something in the release notes for 546 to fix a reliability issue with Edge so I was hoping that would resolve the issue but it did not. I tried completely deleting the files to reset Microsoft Edge and doing a clean install of my NVidia drivers and all the other usual things like sfc and dism etc. and nothing would fix it. Then I found this post and immediately after uninstalling DisplayFusion, the problem goes away. Hopefully this can be fixed. ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crash when moving Microsoft Edge window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#8 Wed, 23 Sep 2020 16:50:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#8 DisplayFusion I hope you figure it out.

Yes Beta channel Insider.

As per Michael Gillen, it only happens on the second monitor (good pickup Michael!) ]]> RE: Windows Explorer crash when moving Microsoft Edge window https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#5 Fri, 11 Sep 2020 20:40:02 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-explorer-crash-when-moving-microsoft-edge-window/?ID=d7360708-1f25-4a9c-bd40-9192d10b7f3c#5 DisplayFusion I too have the issue. I hadn't made the association with MS Edge before, but it has been my primary browser lately.
It seems that move Edge interaction on the second monitor is the issue.
Moving it to/from Monitor 2 seems to trigger it for me. I thought I'd seen it crash with seemingly no interaction. I am not so sure now.
I updated to the DisplayFusion Beta last week, but the problem persists.
I had not reported it because I am running the Windows 10 "Beta Channel".
I have attached logs, in case you are interested.
