Missing history button in Edge Stable?
- Mar 14, 2021
Hi,
This is probably still a controlled feature rollout, like I mentioned in my other comment, the release note says nothing about it.
you're talking about history flyout, well, favorites flyout came even before that but one of my Edge stable installations doesn't even have that.
It's so inconsistant, you never know what features will be available on a computer and they also don't consistantly follow the version numbering. It's almost like a psychological experiment Microsoft is carrying out on users to confuse them. It also makes supporting and helping people more difficult because you can't have any real idea what features Microsoft have randomly blessed them with. I understand release waves and test phases and how useful they are but they should match version numbers and users should be able to understand what features they have available. This is just frankly offputting.

So I got tired of waiting. I uninstalled Edge using the instructions here:
https://nerdschalk.com/how-to-permanently-remove-microsoft-edge-from-windows-11-using-powershell/
I restarted the computer. Then I reinstalled it from a file (v. 91.0.864.53)
And it worked!! I got them!!!
I used it for a while perfectly happy. But then I went to [Options, Help, About Edge] and it began to update (v. 91.0.864.67). After that, it restarted and the buttons were gone again....

DanielRyan indeed. I installed the beta version and moved on. The buttons are there now
