Windows 10: How to Import Favorites from Windows 10 Favorites folder to Edge

When I try to import Favorites from Windows Favorites folder, by going to Edge Settings > Import or Export > Import from file. Then select: C drive > Users > User name > Favorites folder.

It only shows the URL short cuts in the Favorites sub-folder, with no way to select them all. And the 200 odd normal favorites are missing.

What am I doing wrong?

Can't Import Internet Explorer Favorites into Edge

Vardhaman,

I'm having the same problem importing favorites from Internet Explorer. Your answer totally ignores his question.

"Please make sure you are following correct steps to import favorites."

• Select More actions (...) > Settings.
  (STOP: At this point EDGE says: ""couldn't import favorites", so we CANNOT GO TO STEP 2)
• Select Import favorites from another browser and choose from the list.
• To see your favorites, select Hub > Favorites.
