Ghost Profiles Persist in Edge Profile Switcher Despite Cleanup
I've submitted a detailed Feedback Hub report documenting persistent ghost profiles in Edge’s profile switcher. These profiles remain visible despite full local and registry cleanup, and there’s no user-facing way to remove them. The issue affects profile integrity, sync behaviour, and UI clarity. It’s reproducible and has no current resolution. Here’s the link to my Feedback Hub submission: https://aka.ms/AAykvpv If you’ve experienced this issue, please upvote or share your observations.

Cursor changes to circle with arrows randomly while using Edge browser
Problem started a few days ago. My cursor now changes whenever to the circle with arrows. Have read multiple forums with suggestions to fix and none work for me. I'm using Windows 11 on a new HP all-in-one desktop. Not sure why this just started happening. I can temporarily go back to the regular cursor by clicking down on the wheel of my mouse, but then it switches back. Very irritating! Can someone please assist?
Ability to Manager or Delete single autocomplete form data in Edge browser (new for 2025)
Someone has asked exactly this question before, in 2023, asking if the feature could be added, when maybe the feature already existed and the OP didn't know. Three months after the post, the OP wrote that they'd found the method and marked it as solved. It involved a few simple key strokes. See here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/edgeinsiderdiscussions/ability-to-manager-or-delete-single-autocomplete-form-data-in-edge-browser-/3984284 This old post has attracted a few extra comments in the time since it was marked as solved, as the method described has been removed in more recent builds of Edge. I find the removal of this method frustrating, and I believe it invites security issues. For example, more than once, I've accidentally put a password in a username box. Now when I visit the site and try to log in, it shows my password in plain text on screen. Users have to search through autocomplete data to correct it, instead of being able to resolve the issue with one click (as I believe it is in Chrome) or the old Edge method of arrowing down to the suggestion and pressing delete while holding shift. Please could this feature be brought back in a future Edge build? Because I think it is a valuable component of old Edge, and I miss its ease of use very much, the sooner the better please.
Dolby stereo audio playback failure on Windows 10 since Edge 141
Hi there, I'd like to report a regression I recently discovered: Dolby Stereo is failing to play in Edge, but Dolby 5.1 channel doesn't experience this issue. The issue can be reproduced using AC3 audio generated by FF.mpeg. Run the following FF.mpeg command to encode a short AC3 stereo audio clip containing noise into an MP4 file. Drag and drop the file into Edge; you'll observe playback failure, and you can also find the failure log in edge://media-internals/. ff mpeg -f lavfi -i anoisesrc -c:a ac3 -ac 2 -y 2ch.mp4 Changing the encoding channel in the FF.mpeg command -ac to 6 (5.1) will allow the audio to be played in Edge. ff mpeg -f lavfi -i anoisesrc -c:a ac3 -ac 6 -y 6ch.mp4 The same is true for EAC3 audio. Just need to change the -c:a parameter to eac3. For more contexts, I'm not on a fresh installation of Windows 11. I'm still on Windows 10, so https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/medfound/dolby-audio-decoder is still available. I'm currently on 142.0.3595.53 (stable). I've also tested 144.0.3658.0 (canary), but the issue persists. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks in advance.Duplicating windows regression with 143.0.3638.1
Has anyone else ran into this issue lately in 143.0.3638.1 where merely clicking links (e.g, links from Windows 11 applications) spawns duplicate windows of all your existing tabs in addition to the new tab (rather than re-using the existing window?) Windows 11 25H2 143.0.3638.1 Example: Open Settings in Windows 11, Windows Update, click the Learn More link. If it doesn't work the first time, it will happen on the second. A duplicate second window open with all your tabs in Edge (minus pinned tabs). What a weird regression.
Edge Dev CreateProcess bug
I'm using Edge Dev Version 143.0.3638.1 (Official build) dev (64-bit) downloaded from https://msedge.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/3b9b41d3-7038-420a-bb07-66fe54926f0f/MicrosoftEdgeDevEnterpriseX64.msi Opening a new Edge instance by using the code: BOOL bRet = ::CreateProcess((LPCTSTR)L"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft\\Edge Dev\\Application\\msedge.exe", (LPWSTR)L" --new-window www.bing.com", NULL, NULL, FALSE, CREATE_DEFAULT_ERROR_MODE, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi); is no longer working. I can see the process starting and then terminating quickly. It works though when using Edge Version 141.0.3537.99 (Official build) (64-bit). Is this the correct place to report & track the bug?
Are there any fix for hardware acceleration issues?
I am no longer using Edge because on Windows there are some issues that appear to be related to hardware acceleration, bugging what the browser renders, and have to resize it's window to fix. It happens on specific websites and mostly while gaming. On MacOS M1/M4 doesn't happens. On iOS 18/26 there were some issues related to scrolling on some websites (I think related to ads) . To fix, have to go back or close the tab. I really like Edge, but these issues made me migrate to Firefox (no issues), using only Edge on the business computer.. Will there be a fix for chromium based applications or by Edge it self some day?
