This happens on a freshly installed system. When I click the 'edit' button all I get is a WSOD.
I initially tried this on the sole enabled 'frontpage' view, but the I also enabled a couple of others too. Same thing :/
My instinct said to go to the log. There, I got a series of these messages (in the site status_message):
Debug:
'Missing handler: node created_year_month argument'
in views_get_handler() (line 943 of core/modules/views/views.module).
...and there were also corresponding log messages (php user notices):
User notice:
'Missing handler: node created_year_month argument'
in views_get_handler() (line 943 of /var/www/drupal-8.x-dev/core/modules/views/views.module).
