How to fix Microsoft Edge crashing issue on Windows 10 build 14942

[Windows Central]

If Microsoft Edge keeps crashing every time you open it after installing Windows 10 build 14942, try this workaround.

Windows 10 build 14942 for PC has been released to Insider through the Fast ring. The new update rolling out is part of the Redstone 2 update and brings some small features, improvements, and fixes.
However, we all know beforehand that installing early versions of Windows 10 from the Fast rings means higher chances of coming across bugs and features not working correctly. A good case and point is the recent Xbox sign-in failure after installing the latest Windows 10 Redstone 2 update, which fortunately Microsoft was able to provide a workaround.
Now on Windows 10 build 14942 a small number of users are reporting that after installing the latest update Microsoft Edge keeps crashing every time they try to open the browser.
While the company hasn't included this particular problem in its list of known issues for Windows 10, a workaround has surfaced that it seems is working for those affected.
