RainerHAM, I would first suggest going to edge://flags, and resetting all flags too their default state, then restart the browser. If this doesn't work, you can go to the Windows 10 Settings page, search for "Add or remove programs" then search for Microsoft Edge Dev and Uninstall it from there. You will likely also need to clean out the c:\users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\EdgeDev directory.

Thanks,

Elliot

Best regards,

Rainer

  RainerHAM Elliot Kirk I had noticed this problem on Canary recently. Today after upgrading to 77.0.229.0 sync seems to be working over VPN. I will continue to monitor, but I am hoping it has been fixed. I had not taken time to submit a smiley yet.

Hi Elliot Kirk ,
I tried everything you suggested even deleted the ...\Edgedev directory and clean reinstalled.
The toggles remain greyed out.
Only the first main toggle is active - all toggles underneath are not active.
