We have seen roaming profiles in Windows 10 1703 unable to use the Edge browser if the profile was originally first created with Windows 10 1607.
The address bar briefly displays ms-appx-web:///assets/errorpages/acr_error.htm#https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=525773 then closes.
In our scenario, enabling the group policy ‘Prevent the First Run webpage from Opening on Microsoft Edge’ fixes the issue so it seems that the 1607 profile has an issue with first run.
Another fix (found in forums) is an undocumented one that does resolve crashes as well is

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Spartan" /v RAC_LaunchFlags /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f |
however I don't recommend it as we don't know what it will affect. Maybe use it as a workaround temporarily.
thank you, group policy fix worked well for me on win 10 pro 1709.
Thank you, Registry Key fix worked well for me on win 10 pro 1709.
Nope. That didn't do it.
Someone at work reported to me it's started happening again in 1709 this week.. I suspect the latest update. We are getting rid of roaming profiles over the next 2 weeks and using UE-V instead. Microsoft doesn't care about roaming profiles any more.
