AutoImportAtFirstRun policy not working since v97.0.1072.69
I have configured the AutoImportAtFirstRun group policy correctly, but favorites from other browsers are not imported into Edge.
This policy worked in Edge v97.0.1072.62, but no longer works in v97.0.1072.69 and later.

muene Hello! We just released MS Edge Stable Version 100.0.1185.29 (Microsoft Edge release notes for Stable Channel | Microsoft Docs) and it should contain the fix for the AutoImportAtFirstRun policy.
Let us know if you are still having issues. Thanks!

Roald_Amundsen Hi! Can you provide a little more information? Is it just Favorites you've seen an issue and are other things importing correctly? Also, is it specifically when importing from a specific browser?
Can you share a screenshot from edge://policy/? Please remove any personal information.
I can see we've received reports on v97 that when the AutoImportAtFirstRun policy is set, users still see the First Run Experience and users are prompted to select what data to import. Is this similar to your issue? Thanks!

Hi Kelly_Y
All items, not just favorites, are not imported.
This is a screenshot of Edge://Policy.
Also, the detailed reproduction procedure is as follows.
1. set up this registry
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] "HideFirstRunExperience"=dword:00000001 "AutoImportAtFirstRun"=dword:00000002 "StartupBoostEnabled"=dword:000000002. Install Google Chrome and add your favorites, etc.
3. Delete the existing Edge user profile if it exists.
"C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data"
4. Start Edge.
In v97.0.1072.62, the Google Chrome profile is implicitly imported, but not in v97.0.1072.69.Thanks.

Roald_Amundsen Thanks for the additional information. Have you tried to see if the issue still reproduces in v98 or newer builds like Beta Channel v99?

- Has there been any progress on this as I am anxiously awaiting a resolution as well....
Thanks,
Kendal Any Updates?
We want to enroll Edge in our company, but until the problem isn't fixed we can't start.
Tried the latest version (99.0.1150.46), but still the same problem.
I'm having the same issue but with Edge version 102.0.1245.41.
It would be really nice if this function actually worked without having to send instructions out to all of our users on how to import IE favorites into Edge.

ijustpushbuttons Hello - Just to confirm, the AutoImportAtFirstRun policy will automatically import the data at first run only. Do you know if the users previously accessed MS Edge? Thanks!
