Quick update. This has been fixed and the fix should be out in canary.
The same will land in stable in E81.

Just tested the new Beta 81.0.416.28. And yes finaly it worked. A few seconds after the first start with a new profile "AutoImportAtFirstRun" at least did what it should do and all my favorites from IE11 are imported automatically.

Maybe you should test and confirm this for your environments

hope my information and our telco helped to fix this.

We are still testing the fixes but yes, this specific issue which was impacting some of you, should now be resolved. Do try the latest Canary.

Joachim_T and dkirchberger you information was indeed very helpful in finding and fixing this issue,

  i guess It comes with 81. Chromium M81 stable is now announced for 7.4.2020 i would guess a few days later there will be an edge V81 with the fix
