I recently noticed that my version of Microsoft Edge is out of date, and as such have been trying to update it. However, no matter what I search for online, or in the browser options, I am unable to find anything indicating how to update. In my searches, I've seen Microsoft claim that updates for Edge should be downloaded via the Windows Update utility, but it doesn't seem to be working.
My current version of Microsoft Edge is Microsoft Edge 20.10240.16384.0, not that I fully understand what that means or how to works.
If it's of any help, I recall having to modify core files a while back to reset/fix a small bug (I do not recall what it was) in Edge.
Answer
Updates to Microsoft Edge (and all other parts of Windows) are handled exclusively through the Windows Update system that is part of the Windows 10 operating system. They will be bundled in with other various updates that come through periodically.
Which updates you receive depends on which "Update ring" you are in. For most people, they are on the Release ring. Windows Insiders can choose between two further options: the Slow ring or the Fast ring.
The latest update was released to the public on April 12th, 2016 (not even a full day before you posted your question). In this case, the update was released at the same time for all rings. As updates to Windows 10 push out in batches (and can propagate directly from machine to machine), it's likely that some users will receive updates a little sooner than others.
Update - The Creators Update, codenamed Redstone 2, scheduled for public release on April 25th, 2017, also includes an update to Microsoft Edge. Windows Insiders received the update early, as per usual, by up to two weeks.
