Edge update -- What am I doing wrong?

Here’s how to reinstall Microsoft Edge whether you’re a Windows or Mac user:

You might be lucky.

That error was seen with a much older build at one time, and was a bug then.

I've just updated to the same build shown in yours, though- which is actually up to date:

About

Microsoft Edge
Version 110.0.1587.49 (Official build) (64-bit)
Microsoft Edge is up to date.

Please confirm you're using the stable version of Edge, not a development one.

For anyone wishing to search for that error, I've screen OCR'd it:
Edge update An error occurred while checking for updates: We couldn't create that component (error code 1: 0x80004005 - system level)

And thank you for replying.

Presumably although this is the latest build of Edge, the failure occurs when checking for (non-available) update. As such the suggestion in the link I posted shouldn't be needed, one might think, unless your Edge installation is damaged.

It may just be a temporary issue. There's no need to check for Edge updates manually normally.

Otherwise feel free to do the usual routine chkdsk, SFC checks anyway.

It seems this error is popular. Edge users experience the same error for a while.

From one user's update:

Microsoft Edge is giving me random issues when I open Google Chat. It gives errors while updating the browser and shows problems displaying the Google Chat friends' profiles. Usually, we could see the email address and phone number of the Google Chat users while hovering the mouse over the username. But, on Edge, Google Chat is not showing the profile details. The frustrating news is that Chrome shows the Chat contacts' profile details. Also, Gmail is loading very slowly in Edge compared to Chrome browser.
