Critical Edge Sync issue after Win11Pro reinstall – incomplete rehydration
A - ENGLISH VERSION Critical Edge Sync issue after Windows 11 Pro reinstall – incomplete rehydration, Device Info = 5, modules stuck Hello, I am experiencing a major issue with Microsoft Edge synchronization after a full reinstall of Windows 11 Pro. Despite multiple reinstalls, several days of waiting, and all possible local troubleshooting steps, Edge Sync remains incomplete, and none of my historical data is rehydrated. Below is the full context, timeline, symptoms, technical observations, and questions. 1) Full chronological context 1.1 – Full PC reset Clean Windows 11 Pro reinstall Sign‑in with Microsoft personal account Windows Insider Program activated (Beta channel) 1.2 – Edge Beta installed automatically Edge Beta was installed automatically without warning. I suspected it might be the cause of the incomplete sync. 1.3 – Leaving the Insider Program I left Insider only to try restoring full Edge synchronization. 1.4 – New Windows 11 Pro 25H2v2 reinstall Clean install Edge Stable installed Sync enabled Several days of waiting 1.5 – Result: sync still incomplete Even on Edge Stable, historical data never returns. 2) Symptoms 2.1 – Missing data No previous tab groups restored Incomplete history “Other devices” sessions missing Passwords visible in settings but not rehydrated No data from my previous Windows 11 PC 2.2 – Sync modules stuck In edge://sync-internals: Saved Tab Group: frozen for days Passwords: “Running” but no data rehydrated Sessions: incomplete Typed URLs / History: partial 2.3 – Device Info = 5 The cloud still lists 5 devices, including my previous Windows 11 installation. This indicates that historical data should be available. 2.4 – Last Synced active Sync is active, but missing data is never returned. 3) Technical diagnosis Everything points to a “consistent but incomplete” cloud profile state: Client sync works Server reports sync as healthy Historical data is never rehydrated Critical modules remain stuck Issue reproduces across multiple devices (Win10, Win11) This suggests a server‑side Edge Sync profile corruption, or a metadata divergence after: Insider → Stable channel change Windows reinstall Local profile deletion Edge Beta auto‑installation Microsoft account reconnection 4) Key question: Is Edge Beta limited in synchronization? I would like an official clarification: → Does Edge Beta restrict any sync modules? → Are Saved Tab Group, Sessions, or Passwords limited in Edge Beta? → Are there backend differences between Edge Stable and Edge Beta? If Edge Beta is not the cause, I will gladly re‑enable my Insider profile. I left Insider only to attempt restoring full sync. 5) Request I kindly request: → A backend analysis of my Edge Sync profile, to check: metadata integrity module states device list consistency possible corruption ability to rehydrate historical data I can provide: sync‑internals screenshots logs additional details multi‑device testing Thank you very much for your help. B - VERSION FRANÇAISE Problème critique de synchronisation Edge après réinstallation Windows 11 Pro – réhydratation incomplète, Device Info = 5, modules bloqués Bonjour, Je rencontre un problème majeur avec la synchronisation Microsoft Edge, apparu après une réinitialisation complète de mon PC Windows 11 Pro. Malgré plusieurs réinstallations, plusieurs jours d’attente, et toutes les procédures locales possibles, la synchronisation reste incomplète, et mes données antérieures ne sont jamais réhydratées. Je détaille ci‑dessous l’ensemble du contexte, les étapes, les symptômes, les observations techniques et les questions. 1) Contexte chronologique complet 1.1 – Réinitialisation complète du PC Réinstallation Windows 11 Pro “vierge” Connexion au compte Microsoft personnel Activation du programme Windows Insider (canal Bêta) 1.2 – Edge Bêta installé automatiquement Sans avertissement ni information, Edge Bêta a été installé automatiquement sur mon système Insider. Pensant que Edge Bêta pouvait être la cause d’une synchronisation incomplète, j’ai tenté de revenir à Edge Stable. 1.3 – Sortie du programme Insider J’ai quitté le programme Insider uniquement pour tenter de retrouver une synchronisation Edge stable et complète. 1.4 – Nouvelle réinstallation Windows 11 Pro 25H2v2 Installation propre Edge Stable installé automatiquement Synchronisation activée Plusieurs jours d’attente pour réhydratation 1.5 – Résultat : synchronisation toujours incomplète Même après retour à Edge Stable, les données antérieures ne reviennent pas. 2) Symptômes observés 2.1 – Données manquantes Aucun groupe d’onglets antérieur n’est restauré Historique incomplet Sessions “Autres appareils” très partielles Mots de passe visibles dans les paramètres mais non réhydratés dans l’interface Données provenant de mon ancien PC Windows 11 absentes 2.2 – Modules Edge Sync bloqués Dans edge://sync-internals : Saved Tab Group : valeur figée depuis plusieurs jours Passwords : module “Running” mais aucune donnée réhydratée Sessions : incomplètes Typed URLs / History : partiels 2.3 – Device Info = 5 Le cloud conserve encore les identifiants de 5 appareils : PC Windows 10 Smartphone PC Windows 11 actuel PC Windows 11 avant réinstallation PC Windows 11 Insider (Edge Bêta) Cela prouve que les données de l’ancien appareil devraient être disponibles, mais ne sont pas renvoyées au client. 2.4 – Last Synced actif La synchronisation est active, mais ne renvoie pas les données manquantes. 3) Diagnostic technique Tout indique un état “cohérent mais incomplet” du profil cloud Edge : Le client synchronise correctement Le serveur considère la synchronisation comme valide Mais les données historiques ne sont jamais renvoyées Les modules critiques (Saved Tab Group, Passwords, Sessions) restent bloqués Le problème est identique sur plusieurs appareils (Win10, Win11) Cela suggère une corruption du profil Edge Sync côté serveur, ou une divergence entre métadonnées locales et cloud après : changement de canal (Insider → Stable) réinstallation Windows suppression du profil local Edge Bêta imposé réactivation du compte Microsoft 4) Question cruciale : Edge Bêta est‑il bridé dans la synchronisation ? Je souhaite obtenir une réponse officielle : → Edge Bêta limite‑t‑il certaines fonctions de synchronisation ? → Certains modules (Saved Tab Group, Sessions, Passwords) sont‑ils restreints dans Edge Bêta ? → Existe‑t‑il des différences de backend entre Edge Stable et Edge Bêta ? Si Edge Bêta n’est pas en cause, je serai heureux de réactiver mon profil Insider. J’ai quitté Insider uniquement dans l’espoir de retrouver une synchronisation complète. 5) Demande Je sollicite : → Une analyse backend de mon profil de synchronisation Edge pour vérifier : l’intégrité des métadonnées l’état des modules la cohérence des appareils la présence ou non d’une corruption la possibilité de réhydrater les données historiques Je suis prêt à fournir : captures edge://sync-internals journaux détails supplémentaires tests sur plusieurs appareils Merci d’avance pour votre aide.
UI overflow in extension permission dialog on Linux (Gnome)
When installing an extension, the permission dialog renders incorrectly and overflows its container. The dialog content appears clipped and does not scale properly within the window. This affects usability because parts of the UI (text/buttons) may be partially hidden depending on window size and display scaling. MS Edge version: Version 149.0.3993.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) To reproduce: Open Microsoft Edge on any Linux distro using Gnome Navigate to the extension store Attempt to install an extension (e.g. AdGuard AdBlocker) Observe the permission popup dialog
Why new design of MS Edge shows less items on the Workspaces selection list?
I have some 9 frequently used workspaces. When I want to open one of them only 6 are listed so I often must catch the narrow scrollbar to spot and select the right one. When trying to point to the scrollbar I often miss-click one of them. I'd prefer the list to be longer and the blank space between items smaller. Also it is very handy that icons there are respectively colored but it is just narrow lines. If the color appeared at a bigger surface it would be easier to spot the right one (like e.g. if one of the 3 sheets of the icon was filled). Mabye, making the list size parametrizable (6/12/24) or making the second line with tab count just optional (detailed/compact list layout) would solve this inconvenience. Thanks. (Sorry, my company blocked posting feedback from MS Edge directly. That's why I am asking here.)Passkey Sync from Microsoft Password Manager in Edge to Windows Hello plugin availability?
When the Passkey syncing feature in Edge using Microsoft Password Manager was unveiled, it was also announced that a plugin would be made available to sync the Passkeys to Windows devices for other browsers and apps to use: https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2025/11/03/microsoft-edge-introduces-passkey-saving-and-syncing-with-microsoft-password-manager/#:~:text=Can%20I%20use%20passkeys%20created,is%20coming%20soon%20on%20Windows. Is the plugin available somewhere to test? I have searched Settings and Edge Extensions store but no success. Anyone here with an idea on same?Edge Dev Version 149.0.3984.0 (Official build) dev (64-bit) Update

Hello The "Microsoft Edge rounded corners" flag in edge://flags/ disappeared in last Canary version The display is reduced on web pages and even more so on laptops with small screens The display is already a bit smaller with the wider title bar Please, bring back this option Especially since there's no other way to disable it, except by switching to Chrome Thanks
Edge Sync Persistent Failure
Subject: Edge Sync Persistent Failure: "Our services aren't available" on syncreset page and Sync Engine stuck on "Initializing" Hi everyone, I’m seeking urgent help regarding a persistent Microsoft Edge sync issue that has lasted for several days across 5 different devices (4 Windows PCs and 1 iOS device). The Symptoms: Sync Engine Deadlock: On all my Windows devices, the edge://sync-internals page shows the Transport State as "Initializing" or "Backed off". The Total Entries often drop to 0, or it shows Network error (ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED). Server-Side Lockdown: I am unable to access the Edge sync reset page (https://edge.microsoft.com/syncreset) from ANY browser or ANY network environment (including mobile data and different VPN nodes). It consistently returns: "Our services aren't available. We're working to restore all services as soon as possible. Please check back soon." Question: Since the syncreset page is unavailable globally for my account, it seems to be a back-end identity/gateway issue rather than a local client error. Has anyone else encountered this "Services aren't available" error on the reset page recently? Is there a way to force a server-side sync container refresh when the official reset tool is down?Bookmarks are being forced into the active Tab Group (New behavior)
Hi there, I’ve noticed a very frustrating change in the latest Edge update. When I open a bookmark from the Favorites bar, it is now automatically forced into the currently active Tab Group. This behavior is counter-intuitive. For example, if I am browsing in a "Social" group and click a bookmark for "Gmail," I want it to open as a standalone tab, not as a part of the "Social" group. Currently, I have to manually drag every new tab out of the group, which is a major workflow killer. Disabling experimental flags doesn't fix this anymore. Please provide a toggle in the Settings menu to disable "Tab Group Inheritance" for bookmarks or revert this change. It should be the user's choice whether to add a new tab to a group or not.
CPU usages on Start Up - Same in Chrome
I'm having the same issue both in Edge and now Chrome. I'm trying to figure out how to solve it so I can switch back to Edge. When I startup the browser it uses a lot of CPU to load 10 to 15%. It stays like that for a couple minutes at least. I couldn't figure out what it was in Edge and now Chome is starting to do the same thing. The longer I use it the longer it uses high CPU. So I figure both of them are doing something similarly. Anyone have any idea what it is and how to fix it?
Incident critique : Edge Sync “Uninitialized”, appareils disparus, identité WAM/MSAL corrompue
Bonjour, Je rencontre un incident critique affectant directement mon identité Microsoft (MSA). Il ne s’agit pas d’un problème local mais d’un dysfonctionnement côté serveur. Voici les éléments techniques constatés : - Le conteneur Edge Sync de mon compte est en état “Uninitialized”. - Tous mes appareils ont disparu de mon compte Microsoft (Device Registration cassé). - Les services d’identité WAM / MSAL / OneAuth ne se réinitialisent plus correctement. - Impossible de créer de nouveaux passkeys ou d’utiliser les services dépendants de l’identité cloud. On dirait que ça nécéssite une intervention côté serveur : réinitialisation des identités WAM/MSAL, du conteneur Edge Sync, et du Device Registration. Je reste à l'écoute de toute aide en vous remerciant par avance.
Samsung S20 FE suddenly stops connecting to Windows PC via bluetooth
I have seen posts about this issue and it has just happened to me. My Samsung S20 FE was connecting to my Windows PC Bluetooth fine. All of sudden my phone will not connect. I have tried to delete, restart on both pc and phone and then pair then connect and it fails. As a result I can no longer use Windows/Phone Link which stinks. Other posts have discussed this issue and they also claim that it just happens and there is no current fix which is absurd since it was working and now it does not?????? Please get fixed.....sounds like this is happening to a lot of users!BrowserCodeIntegritySetting vs. Memory integrity / HVCI
Hello all, we have set BrowserCodeIntegritySetting to '2' (Enabled: Enable code integrity guard enforcement in the browser process.) This causes the browser to crash once a user tries to logon to Citrix terminal servers with EntraID/Fido2. This is probably cased by an unsigned Citrix CtxFidoMuxdll, but from our understanding this should be properly handled and the browser should not just crash. While investigating the root cause, we found very few information about Code Integrity Guard. It seems it was shipped as part of Device Guard but nowadays is named Memory integrity or hypervisor-protected code integrity (HVCI) and independent from Device Guard. Is this understanding correct and can we expect that the feature name will be updated and a proper documentation will be added? BR, JoeAndroid MS Edge Autofill verification and android/PWA apps.
Hi guys, An issue I have with edge on android autofill is that when biometric checks are enabled for autofill and using non-edge or an installed PWA app, you are teleported from the PWA/android app to Microsoft edge and are not teleported back to the app being autofilled. This means that having biometric autofill checks and edge password manager as the primary autofill for android means that on some apps it is unfeasible to autofill as the log in request times out or resets after the app is no longer in view. This and the inability to save passkeys natively in the edge android browser is a big for drawback for me using edge password management over googles in built system. Happy Easter!
