Windows 10: Edge Chrome favourites not being saved.

I am using Microsoft Edge Chrome,Version 84.0.522.61 Official build 64-bitup to date.

I have imported my old Edge favourites and they appear in an “Other favourites “ folder.



The functionality of the new “Manage favourites” seems OK until I make changes, such as new folders or moving URLs between folders, they are saved whilst the browser is open but not saved, disappearing when the browser is closed then reopened, even within a few seconds. Waiting longer for system settling or a system reboot makes no difference.



I have also tried editing the folders and contents from within the old “Other favourites” drop down menu, these changes are only saved whilst the browser is open.

I also tried copy and pasting the “Other favourites folders into the “Manage favourites, Favourites bar”but that is inoperable.


Could there be conflict with previous versions of edge, I still have two entries in Apps and Features, namely; Microsoft Edge 18/08//2020 and Microsoft Edge Update 05/08/2020.

I am a little mindfulas towhy an update appears as an app or feature andalsothat the update predates the app, odd or nothing to worry about?



I have searched extensively on the internet for a cureor a repair optionbut nothing works,Have also sent feedback to theThe Microsoft Edge Team

I can’t even do a complete re-download of Edge Chrome in case there is a file corruption. When I open this site I get;

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4501095/download-the-new-microsoft-edge-based-on-chromium

and click on the “Get the new Microsoft Edge now” button all I get is;

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge?form=MA13DE&OCID=MA13DE

telling me I am already browsing in edge. Clever eh, but an itsy bit seems broken!



I have favourite backups just in case



Please Help!

How to save Url's Favourites in Microsoft Edge?

Thank you for your reply. But you only explain the basics of saving a URL into My Favourites. I am familiar with this procedure and I used it successfully until I merged the Favourites from Chrome and Internet Explorer with Edge's own favourites at Microsoft's
suggestion (a box appeared after the log in). I presume you are familiar with this.

So I am looking now for the way to return to the previous situation when Edge had its own Favourites and I could save URL's into My Favourites at will. It's worth mentioning that within Chrome and Internet Explorer adding of URL's to Favourites works normally.

Kind Regards

 

How to save Url's Favourites in Microsoft Edge?

Original Title:Saving URL's into Favourites

A couple of weeks ago Microsoft proposed to transfer URL's into Edge (Windows 10) from other browsers (Chrome & Internet Explorer) which I had in my system. They've supplied step-by-step procedure to do this. In this way all saved URL's from all the browsers
would be available in just one browser (Edge). I made a fatal mistake going along that suggestion as I now cannot save new URL's into Favourites any more. As far as I see this problem it is clear that this fault was caused by this action since the saving of
URL's prior to this action worked quite well. Now, as much as I've read discussions regarding this problem it is very involved situation and I really do not feel like jumping through the hoops just to restore the above function. I presume, maybe naively, that
things should return to their previous good functioning if I undid this transfer of the URL's. I do not know how to do this. Could I have an information how to do this.

Regards

 

Missing recent saved EDGE favourites

Hello there,

I have recently completed the "Anniversary" update for Windows 10 today. However though, the Favourites section of Edge only contains an older version/copy of all my saved favourites. { I have heavily modified the list since then! }

I have checked this folder already, but found it to be empty:

C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favorites

Is it still possible to restore my most recent list of favourites?

Thanks in advance for any input!
