Did you also try using Web Automation > Launch new Edge action?
Select "Attach to running instance".

I'm having similar issues to this. I've tried using "Attach to Running Instance" and it fails consistently. I have attempted to use both the By Title and By URL options.

I have the same issue. I successfully launch a Chrome Window and go to a URL which works and creates a browser instance var. Then when manually inserting a Press button on web page action, when run it generates this error: Argument 'BrowserInstance' must be 'Web browser instance'. As you can see, the web browser instance var defaults to %Browser% yet it still throws the error.
