We can try the following ways:

Click on “...” (… symbol) on the top right corner of the browser.

Select Settings from the drop down menu.

Click on Choose what to clear under Clear browsing data.

Check the Cookies and saved website data (and any other data you want to clear) and click on Clear button.

1. Enable Inprivate Browing feature of Edge.
   

We can refer to Enable Private Browsing in IE 11 and Microsoft Edge

1. Try to reset Windows Edge. Go to Settings->App->Apps and features->Windows Edge->Advanced options->Reset.
   

1. Use Windows Compatibility List.

Check "Use Windows Compatibility List".

Restart the computer.

1. Try to update Windows updates.

Hi Nicholas,

As a workaround, we suggest you to export favorites from Microsoft Edge into a .html file and afterwards, import the .html file to Internet Explorer 11.

Here are the steps:

  Settings.
• Under Favorites, click on the View favorites settings.

• Select the folder where you want to save the .html file of your Microsoft Edge favorites, and then
  Save.

Once you have the .html file of your Microsoft Edge favorites, follow the steps below on how to import them to Internet Explorer 11.

• Open Internet Explorer 11.
• On the menu bar, click on File, and then click on Import and export.
• In the Import/Export Settings window, select Import from a file, and then click on
  Next.

  Next.
