Sync engine is broken again.

MissyQ Deleted Elliot Kirk 

 I had problems because duplicates were starting to appear, and I fixed this with the remove duplicates feature(very helpful, thank you for adding it :D), but my favorites in the bar are also displaying text when they should be icon only.

From personal experience, that means its trying to sync over and over again. Further proof to this is this: I have canary and beta open, beta because some things aren't loading in canary. The favorites keep duplicating between each other and reverting back to icon and text even as I am typing this. It feels kind of like whack-a-mole right now.

 

Are there any major changes that could have triggered this? How fast can this be fixed?

    Do you or anyone else knows whether Microsoft has started rolling out the new Edge through Windows update to everyone yet?

    I really hope not, because these sync issues should be considered as a roadblock.

      I can't find any documentation anywhere, but I think it was Windows Update  KB4541302 that installed Edge Stable instead of Legacy on my 32-bit system today:

      HotCakeX I think I may have found the one spark that made the favorites explode. When I used the remove duplicates, all my pinned favorites showed text again, which was fine, but then they kept doing it, and still are sometimes. If that's the case, then I may have used the solution to the problem that created the problem to fix the problem, making it worse each time it was used.

       

      I agree that this is a problem, especially since its in Beta, the stable version. Can and Dev are fine, but problems in Beta start making me nervous too.
