[BUG][FIXED] Edge Stable 86.0.622.38 is ignoring cookies and site settings.

after upgrade to Edge Stable 86.0.622.38 now when I close Edge and then open a website where I was previouly logged in, now I have to login again, also site settings are not preserved for example in YouTube.

 

reverting back to Edge Stable 85.0.564.70 fix the issue.

also there are reports in Reddit:

UPDATE: seems the only way to fix this bug temporarily is Changing "Hosted App Data" from "clearing each time" to "not clearing each time", according to Rich Alan in Microsoft Answers forums.

 

UPDATE 2: Edge Stable 86.0.622.56 has been released and seems the bug is fixed now.

  • Hey, friends! Hopping in here to confirm what MELERIX stated, we are rolling out the fix to our Stable channel now and the fix should already be in place in our Insider channels. You can see my update over on our Answers forums here. Please let me know if you notice any issues after reverting the settings!

  • MELERIX Hey, friend! First, I wanted to acknowledge your effort here to ensure we see as many of the threads as we can. Your thread here helped me find a couple of others I hadn't been aware of. This is massively appreciated!

     

    That being said, the team is aware and are working on getting this resolved. As you have noted, making sure that Hosted app data is NOT selected on edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose is the current temporary workaround. I'll reach back out once I hear back from the team! Appreciate your patience while we dig into it. :3

      MissyQ  Is there any update on the fix. There are 10K users affected from our client company that they are unable to login to Facebook Workplace.

      that option is to report an issue with a specific single website, not related with the bug I'm mentioning because this bug affect all websites with cookies.
