Favorites Icons

Comcast just did an upgrade in my area and ever since, my "Favorites" icons on AOL and Edge are Globes and not the individual icons they once were. Not sure why it happened, but how do get them back? I've managed to get them back temporarily, but after changing  "opening page" settings where they are displayed properly, they disappear.

    wcuster208​ the icons on bookmarks break (only show 🌐 icons) in the Edge version 149 release (which was released June 12th, a day before your issue, meaning the Comcast upgrade is just co-incidence).

    Apparently the 150 version fixes the issue, but that may still be 3-4 weeks away as of now.

    Until it releases, you can workaround the issue as follows:

    • Tap the "..." in top-right of Edge to bring-up the menu
    • Go to ⚙ Settings
    • Click "Privacy, search, and services" in the left-hand list
    • Click "Clear browsing data"
    • Click "Choose what to clear every time you close the browser"
    • Turn "Browsing history" to off (the large dot on the left side)

    Edge should then start putting icons back on bookmarks the next time you click on them.

    It's interesting this issue occurred after a Comcast update in your area. The fact that this happens in both Edge and AOL could mean something broader than just your favicons but let's try resetting those first:

    1. Close Edge
    2. In File Explorer, navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default
    3. Delete the files called Favicons, Favicons-journal, and Favicons-wal.
    4. Re-open Edge, navigate to a favorite site and see if your icon is restored. 

    If that doesn't help, let me know if this issue is happening to all your favorites or just a few of them and we can troubleshoot further.
