Favicons for bookmarks broken since Edge v149 update
📣 Update, 3 July 2026:
✔ As of the latest 150.0.4078.48 update, the missing bookmark icons issue is fixed. You can once-again set "browsing history" to clear each time you close Edge, and icons will remain between sessions. 🥳
✔ As of the 149.0.4022.80 update, these issues were resolved:
• "Create QR code for this page" feature works again
• "Browsing history" in the "Clear browsing data" menu isn't always stuck on "Calculating..."✔ As of the 149.0.4022.62 update, these issues were resolved:
• moving the mouse-pointer to the top of the screen when Edge is in full-screen mode once-again shows the tabs and URL bar, and the double-arrow icon appears once-more to allow exiting full-screen mode;
• when users saved files to network-locations (\\server\share\folder), Edge would not open either the downloaded files, or the folder they were saved into; online reports said the .62 update fixed this
Workaround provided by "glasskuter" in win11 forums, I tested this and it has fixed the issue until MS programmers get a clue. What happened to QA?

On desktop create a shortcut with target of
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features=msEdgeFaviconService
May or may not work completely, most of my icons were restored, visiting sites with broken ones restored some but not all.
Follow up: After a couple hours icons started diappearing again from favs, so this does not work either.
