Profile switching sites incorrectly

Running Version 120.0.2165.1 (Official build) Dev (arm64).

 

Edge has started opening any local sites using IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.2.10) in a work profile vs. my personal profile (which is currently active when trying to open the page).

 

I have checked the auto profile switching configuration and there are no sites listed with the URLs (IPs) in question.

    Ok, I figured it out.  When a site opens in the wrong profile, in the address bar will be a blue looking icon, hover over/click it and you can update profile preferences for that site.  Not sure why it's picking random sites to do this on but after changing that it's finally not loading in the wrong profile anymore.

      Thanks for sharing this.

      I'm wondering if we keep clicking the thumbs down button that the sites will quit switching, or if the option to change the site to "Don't switch" will go away and will have to be done manually.

      incith the only problem I see with this "solution" is, if you have a lot of services or devices on the 192.168.0.0/16 network, you have to click the profile switch icon on every url you try to access within your network. This was NOT like this before and not sure why is doing it now.

    Same issue here. I'd like to disable the profile switching altogether because I like to open separate instances for each profile. Sadly, edge doesn't seem to care what I want.

    Same issue.
    Edge Version 119.0.2151.30 (Official build) stable app, beta channel (64-bit)
    IP addresses open in my work profile, with and without leading http://..
    - Default profile for external links is set to my personal
    - Account and curated sites based profile switching is off in both profiles

    Also having this issue, very irritating. I have turned off all profile switching options but the issue persists.

    trying to disable generally when running through msedgedriver.exe (version 120.0.2210.61 (Official build) (64-bit)) --disable-features=SwitchIntranetSitesToWorkProfile. NO EFFECT > site opens in the wrong profile.
