MSN weather metric system settings not saving (Edge Chromium Based)
Hello, it was recommend in Microsoft Community Forums that I should post this here.
In the new Microsoft Edge Dev Browser, I noticed that the greetings message on the new tab was displaying in the wrong location with different metric system, so I went to the content section of the new tab and saw the weather widget, I changed to use my location + the metric system that I use, and in that tab, all the settings that I changed were all applied, the greetings message was displaying the correct metric system, until I changed a new tab, the location was saved but the metrics didn't.
In http://www.msn.com the changes were also applied correctly (if I'm logged in, if not, the default is the same has the new tab).
I'm logged in and synced in the Browser.
- My Edge Dev version is 82.0.453.2
- My Current Language in Edge Dev is English with Portuguese as optional
- My Windows 10 version build 1909
- My Windows 10 Language is English (United States) with Portuguese as optional
I also tried in Edge Canary and regular Edge with the same result.
Edge Legacy works fine and all the changes are saved.

Project & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeDeleted Good Morning, I too am having the same problem - this has only started since I have updated to the last version of Edge Version 84.0.522.52 (Official build) (64-bit).
Additionally, I am also having a problem where after logging into my 2 Factor Authenticated Hotmail account with Edge and selecting do not ask again for this computer when adding the security code. If I log off it does not remember 'This computer'. I now use Chrome as it works as intended, but would much prefer to use Edge.

ricardomorais You've come to the right place; welcome to our MS Edge Insiders community! We're sorry to hear that you're encountering some issues with the New Tab Page weather settings.
