According to the Microsoft edge web page Microsoft EdgeVersion 122.0.2365.106 (Official build) (64-bit) is the latest release of their software, your up date does not occur after restart

Microsoft Edge is up to date. In your software scan. you claim 123.0.2420.53 and attempts to install but fails.

Similarly the application for driver updates are fraught with the same issues. I have checked with the developers and none of your drivers for update are proven and released. Windows update does not recognize them.

Personally, in my opinion you are trying to make sales employing scareware and it is also my opinion that if windows update does not recognize a need or risk, or have yet to test updates and drivers. An update to an unapproved update or driver is dicey! Microsoft may be conservative but they are right more times than wrong

Hello Thomas. Unfortunately, your version is not the current version of Edge, neither is the version posted for Microsoft. The latest version is as shown below: Version 123.0.2420.65 just updated my side. Driver updater should NOT be used as it can render a machine non-functional with incorrect or outdated drivers getting installed needing reverted after the fact. This is noted in many areas of the forums by other users. Continue using your Windows Updates and OEM websites for your drivers, they will be properly vetted and should not cause any issues.
