Where on earth are the bookmarks stored?
Not an option, no longer in that older env, just have a backup of it.
Thanks for trying anyway.
SaulJed Gave it a go and took a look around on my machine and came to the following conclusion
[drive letter]:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Dev\User Data\Default
There's a Bookmarks file here that appears to contain the information if you open it in Notepad. Not sure if plopping that into a profile folder would bring the info right up or not though.
When I did my copy that file should've been included (I closed all running processes, rebooted, & then relaunched etc), but perhaps a more finer-grained manual process will do the trick, thanks for pointing out that singular point, I'll try something later.
- Hi,
Which Edge insider channel are you using?
were you using cloud sync before reinstalling your Windows?Edge Dev. It's already fixed, kinda.
Copied the contents of that that folder mentioned in lindhartsen's post;
Into the same directory in this new Windows 10 environment.
Annoyingly, some stuff hasn't been restored, like extensions and tabs for 1;
But I do at least have all the bookmarks back, I think.
The amount of time I've lost over the the last ~8wks thanks to W10 instability, is phenomenal.
In the early stages of this new Windows 10 env...
I will soon have a (near) bullet-proof imaging/restoration system implemented.
I simply, can no longer afford that kind of time-wasting BS.
Never had the same degree of time-wasting in OSX/macOS over the years, as I have with W10.
Don't get me wrong, I love Windows 10 for the stuff it's great at;
But I absolutely despise it for the things it's still weak at...
Here's hoping Windows Core OS (& its flavors) FINALLY delivers a rock-solid Windows in ~2yr.
I won't hold my breath. Anyway that's getting way off-topic, back to the subject at hand!
