    Microsoft Edge - Browser History Retention Time


    How long is the Browser History retained within Microsoft Edge and where is this information stored?


    A previous poster asked this in 2017 and was advised that "Browsers keep all websites that you have accessed unless you delete the browsing history. Edge and Internet Explorer can keep the history of the accessed websites up to 999 days. To configure the settings, follow these steps:

    1. Click on Start.
    2. Type Internet Options then press Enter.
    3. Under Browsing history, click on Settings.
    4. Go to the History tab.
    5. Adjust the number of days if necessary."


    However this no longer appears to be the case. This value is set to 20 confirmed within Internet Options and the Registry but Microsoft Edge appears to be retaining the browsing history for 90 days. There does not appear to be anywhere within Microsoft Edge that this can be customised and I have been unable to locate a registry key that stores this information for Microsoft Edge.

    :)

    Microsoft Edge - Browser History?

    Hi Barry,

    Browsers keep all websites that you have accessed unless you delete the browsing history. Edge and Internet Explorer can keep the history of the accessed websites up to 999 days. To configure the settings, follow these steps:

    • Click on Start.
    • Type Internet Options then press Enter.
    • Under Browsing history, click on Settings.
    • Go to the History tab.
    • Adjust the number of days if necessary.

    Let us know if you have questions.

    Regards.

    Browser History Missing in EDGE

    Your answer is not helpful. How did I discover I couldn't access the history? By following all the steps you listed below.

    Edge has problems and for this reason Chrome is now my browser and I am very happy. Absolutely no freezing !!!
