This reminds me of Airplane. Should we turn on the runway lights – no that’s just what they’d be expecting. WTF is wrong with MS that they move things around to no benefit? Copying profiles is now more steps. FU MS!

EDGE recent stored favorites are not found anywhere using several threads found on the internet including this very site. Now June 2018 running Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1803 April upgrade using EDGE still no recent EDGE favorites found under my user name app date etc. The craziest dilemma that I cannot get over is Microsoft support witch I pay annually for their product knowledge when asked a support technician “where do I find Web Page favorites? Right, not a difficult question to answer especially for the actual technical representative of the developer’s product. Well no they tried only after asking me why I wanted to find my currently saved EDGE favorites. She could not find an answer even after putting me on hold and asking others. A tier II from development called me back several days later (same case number) and actually had the audacity to try to convince me my EDGE web site page favorites are in the same place they always had been. I said you mean when I was using IE11? He said yes and he was by then remotely connected to my computer as he took me to favorites under my user profile. I said nor they are my old IE11 favorites not from using EDGE. So, he opened the favorites folder and he says see there are recent dates. I said really? Those date are over three weeks old about the time I decided to start using EDGE noting there actually were no recent dates as he had to agree. So, Mr. 2nd tier Microsoft Windows 10 support professional “where are my EDGE favorited hiding”? He begins to try to tell me they may had be moved to the “One Drive” cloud. I said no I do not use One Drive, in fact I use zero cloud products. Now case to another house has gone by on this very case number and still no answers. He then did exactly what I saw coming as I had seen too many times before, he asks what a good day and time to reach you. Ok, here we go again. I have nor heard back from Microsoft now over six weeks on this case. In the meantime, I have spent way too much time lifting ever hidden folder rock still looking for those elusive favorites with no avail.

I’ve navigated to the “C:UsersrayAppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbweACMicrosoftEdgeUserDefault” directory and found it to be empty, yet my edge browser (I’m using edge right now) has lots of my stuff imported from Chrome?

Now I understand this is where it is located when imported.

Where is it located after you drag them to favorites bar.

Hi all – I hope this comment will still get some attention! The Edge android app completely f’d up my Edge reading list creating literally thousands of duplicates… I’m trying to track down where they are stored because manually deleting them one by one through Edge is… Just not an option. What a mess. So is there a way I can access the Extensible Storage Engine Database to manually edit? Or just I just look into backing up and rebooting edge from scratch? Cheers!
