    Favorites is Gone


    I installed Windows 10 without any hi-cup last week. I imported the favorites/bookmark from Chrome and organized them in the right category. Favorites bar shown and all, closed the Edge but when I open the Edge again, my Favorites is gone but the Favorites Bar is still there. Also I cannot put any new web sites into the folder either. Please help.

    :)

    First look at where the OS is looking for Favorites and decide if that is the right place. Open shell:Favorites

    You can type that in an IE Address bar but not in an Edge Search bar. Or just enter it in a Run... dialog (Win-R) or File Explorer Address bar (Win-E). If that's not where they should be you can use the Location tab for that folder (in Properties) to adjust
    it. Otherwise, supposedly for 30 days your old stuff may be available under Windows.Old.

  4. Favorites is Gone

    Same issue. It lets me save a site as a Favorite but:
    -it really doesn't save anything
    -nothin end up in the favorites folder
    -it wont let me ever see it again ; no list of favourites is ever displayed

    I don't get it. Why have an option to save as Favorite if it can never be recalled????

    All I can see is what I put on the Favorites Bar.

    I still didn't get it after reading Brink's instruction. I cannot locate the Favorites Bar but is empty. I tried to import the favorites again from Chrome but the Favorites Bar never shows up in my Hub?

  7. The "bar", is yet another item hidden by default ; you need yo go to the Edge option )triple dots) , then to Settings, then turn the "Show the favortites bar" option .

    The "hub" something else, its to show favorites, and the icon for it is to the right on the favorites star on the main ribbon menu

    Sorry I shouldn't say Favorites Bar which I do have by turning on via setting. What I have trouble with are:

    1. Click on "hub", import favorites from Chrome. No problem importing the first time and can see all my favorites/bookmarks inside hub. I then organized all the favorites into different category with the "Favorites" shown inside hub. The "Favorites" icon is now gone.
    2. When I tried to save a web site using the "Star" icon under "Create in" folder, tried to type in the folder name but the Edge crashed when I start typing.

    Should I re-download Edge? Don't want to reload Windows 10 though

    Sorry, the favorite bar post does not help me. I still cannot get back to the organizing the favorites which I did when first imported from Chrome. Needless to say, I still cannot save a particular web site when I click the star button with "create in", shows blank when I try to type. I must mess up the registry somehow and don't know how to get it back. I wonder if I can download the Microsoft Edge again (where?)
