Hi Everyone - The fix for this was released to Microsoft Edge Beta Version 117.0.2045.12. If you have access to the Beta Channel, please test and let us know if the issue has been resolved.

The fix should also be included in the next Stable release, which should be later this week if there are no delays. Thanks!

  Kelly_Y If this has occurred the solution is to install Beta version 117 and then delete all of the shortcuts already created? In our environment some users have 10,000+ shortcuts to work edge in their OneDrive thus syncing down to their devices.
  Thanks

  Kelly_Y This Edge issue has broken OneDrive Desktop folders and actual PCs, it has created over a hundred thousand spam shortcuts. Why are you creating issues like this?
