Microsoft Edge not working in WSA

[dotnetian]

Steps to reproduce

Just install Microsoft Edge on WSA. When you enter the application, almost nothing is working properly. I'm creating the issue here because this apk file that I installed on WSA was tested on my phone before & was functioning properly.

✔️ Expected Behavior

The normal behavior of a chromium-based web browser, like on a real cell phone.

❌ Actual Behavior

Errors are everywhere. Nothing's working right.

The user can't turn on sync.

Other Software

Microsoft Edge Mobile 110.0.158761

Please specify the version of Windows Subsystem for Android

2301.40000.70

You're probably running the ARM architecture version of Edge on an x86-64 architecture PC. Chromium's dynamic code generation isn't compatible with Intel Bridge Technology that WSA uses for ARM emulation. I don't think the x86-64 version of Edge for Android is publicly available, but I have confirmed that it works on WSA. Running a full browser in WSA isn't a supported scenario since WSA redirects browser intents to the Windows default browser (although it should work if you install an x86-64 browser via ADB). A desktop browser running natively will provide significantly better performance and a better user experience than a mobile browser running in a virtual machine.

Just for others, I tried Firefox & it is working well on WSA.

Same issue. I tried chrome with x86_64 architecture from apkmirror. It still not working.
Only edge and chrome have this issue. Other browsers on play store like firefox, opera, vivaldi and brave don't have this issue.
It might be a chromium related issue?

When I try to Open Edge from the Play Store, it immediately crashes and closes. Other browsers from the Play Store seem to work.
