Backup and Restore Microsoft Edge Favorites in Windows 10  


Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your answer. Mine does too, i.e. imports html file.

As I said, since 1803, Edge does not create an automatic daily backup in html file, but a backup of the favorites and settings. The issue is that this backup is not a replica of the
%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default folder and thus cannot be restored the way Option Three suggests (my preferred way of restoring favorites!).
That is why I asked if you knew how to use this automatically created backup to restore Favorites.
