- May 07, 2023After experimenting with each and every file in the User Data folder, I found the solution.
Here's how-
1. Close the edge
2. Delete this file
"C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\Preferences"
You can find the 'Preferences' file in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge SxS\User Data\Default\"
And then delete it
3. Start the edge, only some of your settings along with the sign in will only be deleted 😄
4. Be happy

Awesome that you found a workaround. I'm leaving mine intact so I can test each new Canary version for submitting bug reports until they get the issue resolved. Don't want this bug to hit release.
