Issue with Microsoft’s Edge version’s compatibility with MSEdgeDriver version(84,85,86)

I downloaded the latest version:83.0.478.61 (Official build) (64-bit) of Edge from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge, but I am not able to make it work with selenium. It appears that selenium’s Edger drivers in (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/) only work for Edge versions 86, 85, and 84! If the latest version of MS Edge browser is 83 why there are versions of Selenium Edge driver for Edge versions 84, 85, or 86? I tried all 3 drivers with my latest edge browser and got similar errors. Is there a way to bypass this or download Edge browser versions 84, 85, or 86?

  1. Message: OneTimeSetUp: System.InvalidOperationException : session not created: This version of MSEdgeDriver only supports MSEdge version 84 (SessionNotCreated)

  2. Message: OneTimeSetUp: System.InvalidOperationException : session not created: This version of MSEdgeDriver only supports MSEdge version 85 (SessionNotCreated)

  3. Message: OneTimeSetUp: System.InvalidOperationException : session not created: This version of MSEdgeDriver only supports MSEdge version 86 (SessionNotCreated)

If you are using .NET and downloading the driver via the Nuget package Selenium.WebDriver.MSEdgeDriver, just download the correct version (not necessary the latest version)

Choose the correct version

Because the latest version:83.0.478.61 (Official build) (64-bit) of Edge is just the latest stable version. There're other versions of Edge Chromium which have higher version number, such as Edge Canary version 86.0.572.0:

If you still want to use Edge stable version 83.0.478.61, you could download the 83.0.478.61 Edge WebDriver in this link:

If you want to download Edge browser versions higher than the stable version, you could check this link.
