Hello Insiders! Today we’re releasing build 86.0.587.0 to the Dev channel. This is the first release for version 86, and there’s a lot to talk about in it! But first, there’s a lot to talk about outside of it too:
Now, for all the product changes:
Added features:
Improved reliability:
Changed behavior:
Known issues:
As always, all of this is only possible thanks to your feedback and suggestions!

@josh_bodner Huge thumbs up on force sync. Will that be updated in the admx / brower policy doc? Any chance that will be backported to older versions, or will support only begin with this build.

I've been following the Dev channel of Edge since it first became available for Windows. When version 84 came to Dev, DPI issues arose, and have since shipped to stable. I've used twitter back in May (bad source for reports sorry), the feedback tool built into the browser a week or 2 ago, and now I implore you here on Tech Community. Every version of Edge since 84 up to at least this version of 86 have broken mixed DPI issues. The attached video explains it visually (no audio).
Monitor setup: 2x 1920x1200 at 100% scaling, one of which is my main display, and 1x 4k laptop monitor at 250% scaling.
The first half of the attached video is when Edge is on my leftmost, main 1920x1200 display, and shows right clicking tabs to use the context menu for duplicating, or re-opening closed tabs renders fine, but clicking on the ... menu spawns the menu on the laptop screen, clipping out of the viewport. This problem gets worse as you attempt to navigate sub menus in the ... menu. Any website with a native <select> element will do the same thing (so it's not just shell elements), making those websites very hard to use.
The second half of the attached video is when Edge is on my secondary 1920x1200 display, and shows that the ... menu renders correctly, but right clicking tabs to use the context menu for duplicating, or re-opening closed tabs spawns on the laptop screen, clipping out of the viewport.
Using Windows 10's application compatibility settings to override application scaling to use System (enhanced) will making both the 1920x1200 monitors work fine in all cases, only the browser becomes blurry on the laptop screen. This has been my workaround for now, but I'd love to see Edge resume normal DPI functionality. Maybe I'm in the minority of people experiencing this.
Any word on this DPI issue?

A lot of fixes in this one ! I wished the "clear cookies on exit" bug fixed on this build was the one I reported back in May, but it seems not :( .
@josh_bodner , do you have any insight on what's going on with it ?
It's not listed as a known issue, so I'm not sure if the team didn't look into that yet (you all are most probably busy with a lot of other fixes and features I'm sure, or even some well-deserved nice summer holidays !) or if you were unable to repro. It's about the local storage being cleared when "clear cookies on exit" is enabled, regardless of the exceptions in the "allow cookies" list.
My comments describing the issue and lengthy repro steps literally disappeared (???), but your answers to these comments did not.

Does the improved reliability for sync with work and school accounts actually mean this issue is fixed for work and school accounts or do we need to still purchase Azure P1 to get sync to work? Free Microsoft accounts sync works! So this is totally unfair for customers already paying for work and school accounts to expected to purchase extra Azure services

@josh_bodner Thank you very much for fixing the Korean IME issue. Wonder why it wasn't included in the list of fixes. While the last character deletion issue seems to have been fixed, there's a another issue with the IME, both old and new versions. Characters don't form properly in the address bar if the keyboard is switched to Korean IME while the text cursor is in the address bar. Have already provided feedback regarding this. Don't know if other IMEs are also affected.
Also, when Edge's window is maximized, context menus, Windows 10 action center, Windows Explorer and many other elements are not visible in the foreground while a page is loading, even when Edge is not in focus. They only appear after the page finishes loading or if Edge's window is not maximized (i.e. restored down).

I would love the option to use the bing daily image as my new tab image. I believe this used to be the default but at some point it was switched out for a windows spotlight style rotating image.

Not sure what's happened but I can no longer sync on my Mac (MacOS Catalina 10.15.6) since this update. It's logged in as me but says it can't sync my account since it needs to verify it's me, so needs to sign in again. I go through the steps and log in, verify 2FA code etc, then I'm stuck at the Sign In screen again. No matter how many times I sign in, I can't get past this screen to actually sync my data.
I've tried:
Nothing has worked. On my Windows PC though, no issues with this update
Just installed Edge Beta on the MacBook to test, which signed in and is syncing without any issues.

@josh_bodner What happened to smooth scrolling? It's no longer in the flags? Scrolling feels jarring without it
Jul 29 2020 03:13 AM
@josh_bodner Excep
As a result of the last update, the exceptions to the clearing of cookies at the end of the session have disappeared.

@matb86 Showing up for me, an 'x' on the right of the dropdown when hovering over the suggestion. BUT, not for all suggestions, I think it's only ones of sites I've visited (history), not for ones picked from my favourites or ones returned by the search engine based on the partial text.

I've been waiting for this as well to complete my Enterprise rollout. GPO support for this on day 1 is a MUST Microsoft!
Also, I'm hoping that the "We've signed you in" prompt can somehow be taken care of to complete this. I don't think it should necessarily be tied to forced sync though... maybe force sign-in.
With this users should have a completely pop-up free auto-sync experience.

Re-enabled support for searching in the sidebar in PDFs now that the functionality has been fixed.
Isn't appearing in right click context menu.

@josh_bodner The Microsoft 365 Roadmap Page https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Teams wont render in the Dev Build, it works in the release version however.

@josh_bodner I found this bug where if you type in something in the address bar and press backspace (to try to delete characters) the whole browser crashes.
Jul 30 2020 06:04 PM - edited Jul 30 2020 06:29 PM
Just updated, entire browser crashes immediately after entering a 4th character into the location bar
Edit: Also crashes when hitting enter or doing just about anything else.
Edit2: Appears to be a google autocomplete issue and is impacting other versions as well. To fix, go to settings, address bar, disable autocomplete OR add a new search provider:
{google:baseURL}search?q=%s&{google:RLZ}{google:acceptedSuggestion}{google:originalQueryForSuggestion}{google:assistedQueryStats}{google:searchFieldtrialParameter}{google:searchClient}{google:sourceId}{google:instantExtendedEnabledParameter}ie={inputEncoding}
