'Work - Edge' Desktop Shortcut Reappears after deleting and reopening Edge Browser
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!

This is an incredibly frustrating issue, we have over 1700 copies of the 'Work' Profile syncing across multiple PC's... Is there a fix that does not involve running scripts on every PC? What a shambles -
It is not a fix, but more of a temporary workaround until an actual fix is developed.
I have found that if you turn off the briefcare in Edge Browser (Settings >Appearance> Briefcase (just under theme). Restart the browser. Then delete all of the duplicated links, it has stopped on the vast majority of my users computers. I also set up a logon script, nothing more than a batch file, that deletes the files at %userprofile%\onedrive-unit\desktop\work*.lnk It will remove any created links each time the computer starts or the user logs on.
Hopefully a full solution is found and pushed out with patching soon. As I said, this is only a work around that does seem to work for the majority of my users. Hope it helps.
What is the best way to push this setting to my PCs in Azure AD?
"Disabling the Briefcase apperance to the devices"SvenMaes I've not been able to find any way to automate that setting. I can't find a registry entry or GPO that controls it. Best solution we've had is just running the powershell script I posted every few days to clear out the mess (which eventually comes back because of that setting).
