Edge 88 hangs / fails when setting up sync

[sba923]

When Edge 88 came out I frantically 😉 enabled the long-awaited History sync on all my PCs... and it stuck at "Setting up sync..."

For days...

Please refer to https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/msedge_profile-msedge_win10/edge-88-hangs-fails-when-setting-up-sync/bb34720f-e279-49e6-ade7-2c7000997044?tm=1611843238649&auth=1   for full details about the problem (I'm also attaching the screenshots here) -- copy/pasting my problem description here results in a blocking "Your post has been changed because invalid HTML was found in the message body.

Hi,
Configure and troubleshoot Microsoft Edge sync
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-enterprise-sync

I have actually read some of these data and it seems, the problem come with ip connection to edge activity, had you try (in a controlled environement to shut down firewall/network-filter for outgoing request ?

[#4]

to explain my idea, it's because many of these error are "timed out" so it must be a package "droped" by a security system (firewall or network filter)

[#5]

I get the exact same symptoms / error messages when using my phone's 4G data connection (so no ISP router firewall there...).

in this case i suggest you to directly open a support request on edgeinsider website : https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/support/request

Done!
