I have found that Edge is the worse PDF reader that I have ever tried. I now use Firefox as my default PDF reader and I am very happy.

I’VE FINALLY FOUND THE CAUSE AND HOW TO SOLVE THE ISSUE!
It happens after you change screen color calibration, when setting a new custom calibration as default for your monitor! From that moment on, some PDFs loaded by Edge will be blank!
How to solve the issue:
- run colorcpl.exe
- enter Advanced tab, and then click button Change system defaults (at bottom). This will open again the same window but in admin mode, to change default settings
- (optional) if you already have some user customized ICC profiles for your monitor under Devices tab, then Remove all of them
- enter Advanced tab (remember you are in admin mode changing defaults this time)
- set as Device profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (IMPORTANT!)
- set as Viewing conditions profile: WCS profile for sRGB viewing conditions (IMPORTANT!)
- (optional) deselect at the bottom Use Windows display calibration in case it was checked
close everything, and close also all Edge windows if already running…. et voilà!
Edge will be finally able to display all PDFs again!
P.S. This bug took me almost two years to be finally squashed! Now MS has to release a fix
