'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!

Has anyone got an overall fix for this issue without blocking *.lnk files from being uploaded to OneDrive or having a script clear up the duplicates? Our users have the latest version of Edge installed, but this is still causing significant issues.
- You can make a script that deletes the edge work ink files (except for 1) and deploy it using remediations. (Endpoint manager > Devices > remidiations. That way you can also track how many device are affected and if the trend is going downward or not. If Microsoft releases a statement or the the script doesnt show anything as "fixed" within a few weeks, you can disable it. For now, this seems to work in our environment.
- we created a PS script and users can run it via a deployed task sequence in software center on their own. I'm actually about to have it run every so often automatically since this doesn't seem to be getting fixed anytime soon.
Would you be able to share that script? Having the same issue with a user.
