so the problem only happens on Hybrid environments where Edge doesn't use (fails to recognize) the UPN and instead uses the old fashioned down-level logon name (pre-Win 2000 era style).
Irony is that Edge on Windows Server 2019 which is newer uses the old style and on Windows server 2016 which is older uses the new UPN style.
dmutsaers OK, I found the culprit. Somehow the account being used on Windows Server 2019 in the automatically created profile in Microsoft Edge is in the format "DOMAIN\Username", and not the UPN "username@domain.net". When creating a new profile with an username in the UPN format, "username@domain.net", and renaming the default Microsoft Edge profile to "Default.old" and the newly created "Profile 1" to "Default", it works.
