Windows 10: Can installed apps view browser history/bookmarks?

Hello. I love using Windows for browsing and shopping, but it's also a great OS to game on. This requires installing games outside of the Windows Store and giving UAC permissions to games in order for them to function properly. Does this prompt grant them access to sensitive personal information such as browser history, bookmarks, and saved form data? Thanks for your help.

Unpinning web browser bookmarks from Apps section, deleting web browser bookmarks.

How do I delete a bookmark that I "pinned" to my apps section. How do I remove bookmarks I no longer want from the web browser header? Thank you!

Hi Eileen,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. I understand the inconvenience you are facing. I will certainly help you with this.


I suggest you to check and verify the history stored and check if you are able to view the history, to do so kindly follow the below given steps:

• Open Microsoft Edge.
• To view your browsing history, select Hub on the right top corner.
• Click on the History (clock symbol).
• Under History expand the category such as last, today by clicking on the arrow given beside the category name.

Check if you are able to view history.
