Windows 10: My history retention is set for 20 days but it's only giving me one day of history.

My history retention setting says 20 days but when I go to history it only shows me one day.

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.

 

No browsing history last 2 or 3 days

1. Internet Options (General tab)> Browsing history> verify that

"Delete browsing history on exit" is not checked

2. There may be corrupt files in History. Clearing the History will remove these.

Internet Options> General tab> Browsing History> Delete> uncheck "Preserve Favorites website data" then delete Temporary Internet Files and History. No reason, yet, to delete cookies, passwords, form data, etc.

3. To prevent History corruption...

Internet Options> Browsing history> Settings> set "Days to keep pages" to something around 20, 25, 30 days- not more than 30. A larger History folder will be more prone to corruption.
