'Work - Edge' Desktop Shortcut Reappears after deleting and reopening Edge Browser
End user removes the spam Desktop shortcut labeled 'Work - Edge': Once they reopen the Edge browser, the app shortcut reappears.
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!

RandomInternetPerson I wouldn't use this workaround as it might cause syncing issues. Happened to us and we had to unblock .lnk files.
We've been doing this for a while for some users for *Chrome*.lnk files as we had some users have duplicates of chrome happening for a couple years now. We've changed it so now the policy includes *edge*.lnk and *teams*.lnk for all staff and no issues but calls for the duplicates have pretty much stopped.
