This bug is triggered even if I don't enable any additional redirections

In addition, when Edge's update is complete and click Restart, it will launch from Chrome

When I edit MSEdgeRedirect settings, if one of the Active Mode options is checked and saved, it remains checked the next time I try to uncheck it.
I tried edge stable and was able to reproduce it

This is intended behavior as is likely creating an entry in %appdata%\MSEdgeRedirect\logs\AppSecurity.log for an unsafe flag as I don't think most people are using it. Can you advise why you are using the flag and I may be able to make a patch?

I'm using the MacType application, which is used for font rendering. When I add --disable-features=RendererCodeIntegrity to the Edge shortcut, it allows third-party DLL injections, and MacType works fine, as seen at snowie2000/mactype Wiki

I will look into adding a custom allowed flags list. In the meantime you can workaround this by creating:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Robert Maehl Software\MSEdgeRedirect\RunUnsafe as a DWORD and setting the value to 1

Or by running the following in an admin command prompt

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Robert Maehl Software\MSEdgeRedirect" /v RunUnsafe /t REG_DWORD /d 1

Thanks for making the improvements. If you have time, could you help me with the other two issues I'm having?

I found a new bug, when I try to open a pdf or an image file such as a png with Edge in the File Explorer, Edge doesn't wake up
