Web capture to Collections not working
It seems that the feature is disabled intentionaly due to a game of experiments.
Any features are controlled by microsoft and it is being configured as
"PrismCollectionsAutoEnroll": {
"disableFeatures": [
"msEdgeAddWebCapturetoCollections"
],
"enableFeatures": [
"msEdgeCollectionsPrismExperiment1"
]
},
(for now, maybe for a part of users)
You'll be able to get the feature back with command-line option,
--enable-features=msEdgeAddWebCapturetoCollections
Or
--enable-features=msEdgeAddWebCapturetoCollections --disable-features=msEdgeCollectionsPrismExperiment1
I'm not using collections and I don't know about msEdgeCollectionsPrismExperiment1 at all. Try at your own risk.
This configuration may be changed anytime soon but no one knows how long it will be continued.

The added command line scripts did not work for me although it can load MSEdge from CLI without any problem. But my favorite "add to collections" feature is still not there! Maybe, Microsoft took the added scripts down so that it does not work anymore.
However, I really appreciate your efforts because your information (about the PrismExperiment) makes perfect sense why the same Edge v.105.0.1343.33 (Official build) (64-bit) does not have the feature on my home desktop but the same version on my work desktop has it. The two Edge instances are using 2 email addresses. So you are right when you said that "part of users" are affected.
The mysterious question is: who gave permission Microsoft to auto-enroll me into their experiment? I know, they can point us to legal fine prints. But once I started relying on a feature, they can just took it away for months because I am part of an experiment?
