AutoImportAtFirstRun policy no longer imports favorites
- 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've been testing in our environment, and it this doesn't seem to be working again. We tried version 87.0.664.55 x64.
We kept digging and figure out our mistake. The short story is built right into the name of the policy. If folks have run Edge before, this won't import favorites. We've found deleting %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\First Run causes the first run experience to trigger again.
Sorry for the confusion. We have a group looking to set Edge as the preferred default and are trying to make that transition as smooth as possible.
Good luck!
