AutoImportAtFirstRun policy no longer imports favorites
Has anyone else noticed that the "Automatically import another browser's data and settings at first run" policy has stopped working in Edge Dev Version 80.0.361.9? I tried it in Canary 81.0.375.0 and...
- Feb 04, 2020Quick update. This has been fixed and the fix should be out in canary.
The same will land in stable in E81.

Hi there. We are using Version 99.0.1150.39 64Bit, with current ADMX Templates, and the Settings "

" is still not working. I am talking about the specific setting above, not manual imports! Any News on this issue, it's very important feature for our RDS-Environments. I don't know when (which version) it stopped working. Thank you

Tomr96 AjAl79 Hello! It looks like you are running into the same issue that has been reported here: Re: AutoImportAtFirstRun policy not working since v97.0.1072.69 - Microsoft Tech Community
I believe MS Edge Canary Channel versions 101.0.1204.0+ should have a fix. Please test and let us know if you are still reproducing the issue. Thanks!

- Tomr96Mar 28, 2022Copper ContributorHello,
We are deploying Edge for Business within our organisation and have found an issue whereby since the upgrade to v97 (and the subsequent change to the First Run Experience), the AutoImportAtFirstRun policy doesn't work. I have rolled the browser back to v96 and the policy works again.
I have tested this in Beta 99 and Dev 100 and this issue is still present. The import will work manually, it's just not happening during the First Run experience for new users.
I have removed the %localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge folder each time I downgraded to fully test the first run experience again, and as mentioned, it does seem to be an issue with Edge v97 and above.
Thanks, Tom.
