I'm having the same problem. I tried cleaning the browser data and reinstalling Edge with no success. The "Reset Sync" button never finishes processing apparently. I have Edge installed on a laptop and a desktop, both Ubuntu 21.04 and both with this sync issue.

 

Description:

Instead of "Sync is on", I see "Not syncing" with a banner saying "We're having trouble syncing browsing data across your signed-in devices. Learn more." The Learn More link points to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/edge-learnmore-reset-data-in-cloud instructing to press the Reset Sync button, which seems to never finish executing, even after following the instruction of logging off other devices.

 

I believe the issue appeared at some point after installing and syncing Edge on a second device (the laptop). Now even after logging off the laptop and removing Edge from it altogether, the desktop will not sync again. The Reset Sync button never worked in either machine.

 

Versions:

  • Edge: Version 92.0.902.9 (Official build) beta (64-bit)
  • OS: Kubuntu 21.04 x86_64

Modified flags:

  • Impulse-style scroll animations [ disabled ]
