This might work, you can go here: edge://version/
find your profile directory by looking at "Profile path:" in that Edge internal page and then copy its value, paste it into address bar of File Explorer in Windows.

now launch the browser and look for the history
I think the new feature solution would be History syncing which is coming in Summer.

Hi,
HotCakeX, you are god's gift to humanity. Thank you so so much for your help.
It worked flawlessly. It's like a cheat-code history sync, ha.
Thank you again ![]()
