    Duplicate msedge.exe and firewall often asking


    hi there,

    I am often asked by Edge to allow the firewall for the "public" mode, however i am on a private network all the time recently, why does that happen? I don't really want to do it and it's annoying me...

    Second i noticed something strange, that is i have 2 instances, identical of msedge.exe existing.

    One is in XXXXXXX:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application and the other is in XXXXXXXXXX:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\87.0.664.60 is that right? if you launch each they open exactly the same thing, same bookmarks etc, my shortcut opens the first one not the one in the 87.xxxx folder.

    Also, i noticed that in the firewall there was a rule also for the msedge.exe which is in the 87.xxx folder... i deleted that one as doesn't look right as i am using the other one no?!?!

    Does this make sense and is it correct all?

    thanks,
    Gabrio
