Clint_J It looks like the update that was released today has a fix for this issue. The Microsoft Engineer that I have a support case open with has asked me to test the update today, and it appears the bug was fixed.

        I had success with unchecking all of the edge options in settings under "Personal Info" that say "fill into"

         

        -Save and fill basic info

        -Automatically fill my info on sign up forms

        -Save and fill custom info

         

        In my companies use case, PDFs were saved as templates, and opened in edge to fill out forms. The templates, when opened in Edge, autofilled previously entered information. Turning off these settings, for us, stopped this.

         

        Hope this helps.
