'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!

DubDubDan, any update on how the GPO change worked out? Did Microsoft support have a suggestion for Intune managed computers as well?
After deploying the GPO and leaving it in place for a couple of days, I have received positive feedback from several users who were affected. I do believe that the policy will only remove the system created shortcuts once an Edge update has been initiated (I might be wrong here).
I am still gathering more information on this and discussing the problem with MS Sup.

- DubDubDan - Has Microsoft suggested a good method of getting rid of the existing icons? A lot of our users have 7000+ icons on their desktop in One Drive?
- If you are comfortable using Powershell I posted a script a couple weeks ago that has been working for me (you'll just need to edit for your users or list source)
