Why is the c# EdgeDriver throwing an unknown error?

This is my first question here so I apologize in advance if I haven't followed protocol in some fashion...

I'm getting the following exception when attempting to instantiate an instance of OpenQA.Selenium.Edge.EdgeDriver. I have separate .Net Core 2.2 and .Net Framework 4.7.2 applications and both get the same exception.

edgeDriver = new EdgeDriver();

This is the error message:

Message: OneTimeSetUp: OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Unexpected error. Unknown error

Stack Trace:

OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Unexpected error. Unknown error at
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.UnpackAndThrowOnError(Response errorResponse) at 
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.Execute(String driverCommandToExecute, Dictionary`2 parameters) at 
OpenQA.Selenium.Remote.RemoteWebDriver.StartSession(ICapabilities desiredCapabilities) at

OpenQA.Selenium.Edge.EdgeDriver..ctor() at 
Selenium.EdgeTests.Setup()

Addtional information:

Windows 10 Pro v1903 (Developer Mode is on)

Edge v80.0.361.69(64-bit)

NUnit v3.12.0

NUnit3TestAdapter v3.16.1

Selenium Support v3.141.0

Selenium WebDriver v3.141.0

MicrosoftWebDriver.exe File & Product Version 10.0.17134.1

I have also tried adding Selenium.WebDriver.MicrosoftWebDriver v10.0.17134 and Selenium.WebDriver.MicrosoftDriver v17.17134.0, independently of each other, to no avail, same exception.

I'm posting this as an answer but the credit should go to @rfmodulator, as it was his suggestion.

I looked at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webdriver-chromium and I was able to utilize the example under the 'Selenium 4.00-alpha03 and earlier' section with a little tweaking to resolve the deprecated DesiredCapabilities.
