Microsoft Edge - Browser History?

Hi Barry,

Browsers keep all websites that you have accessed unless you delete the browsing history. Edge and Internet Explorer can keep the history of the accessed websites up to 999 days. To configure the settings, follow these steps:

• Click on Start.
• Type Internet Options then press Enter.
• Under Browsing history, click on Settings.
• Go to the History tab.
• Adjust the number of days if necessary.

Let us know if you have questions.

Regards.

 

Microsoft Edge - Browser History Retention Time

How long is the Browser History retained within Microsoft Edge and where is this information stored?

A previous poster asked this in 2017 and was advised that "Browsers keep all websites that you have accessed unless you delete the browsing history. Edge and Internet Explorer can keep the history of the accessed websites up to 999 days. To configure the
settings, follow these steps:

1. Click on Start.
2. Type Internet Options then press Enter.
3. Under Browsing history, click on Settings.
4. Go to the History tab.
5. Adjust the number of days if necessary."

However this no longer appears to be the case. This value is set to 20 (confirmed within Internet Options and the Registry) but Microsoft Edge appears to be retaining the browsing history for 90 days. There does not appear to be anywhere within Microsoft
Edge that this can be customised and I have been unable to locate a registry key that stores this information for Microsoft Edge.

 

Browser History in EDGE

Hi Cal,



Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community. We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.



Does the issue persist only with Edge web browser?

Have you checked the Browsing history option under
Clear browsing data?



Uncheck the Browsing history box by following the steps below, and check if the issue is resolved.



Step 1: Open Edge browser, click on
More actions i.e. “…” located at the top right hand side corner of the page.

Step 2: Click on Settings options.

Step 3: Click on Choose what to clear under
Clear browsing data option, and uncheck Browsing history box.

Step 4: Close and open the browser, and check if the changes are effective.



Hope this helps!
