AutoImportAtFirstRun policy no longer imports favorites
- Feb 05, 2020Quick update. This has been fixed and the fix should be out in canary.
The same will land in stable in E81.
I also tested this on a personal machine of mine (Win10 1909 Home) that is not joined to our domain and I get the same result.
On all machines, IE favorites will import fine if I import them manually through the menu.
We are probably going to hold off deploying until we are sure this is going to work in the release build.

Hi there,
Previously I had only tried importing IE favorites, but after I saw your reply I set the policy to import Chrome favorites in the Dev build and it did the same thing. It did allow me to manually import Chrome favorites through the menu after startup.
To test this I am deleting the User Data folder from %localappdata%\Microsoft\[Edge Version] so the first run experience is triggered.
I tested the Beta build (79.0.309.58) with the policy set to import Chrome favorites and that worked just like it does with IE. It looks like something broke between this version and the current Dev version.
