Missing history button in Edge Stable?
Hi,
This is probably still a controlled feature rollout, like I mentioned in my other comment, the release note says nothing about it.
you're talking about history flyout, well, favorites flyout came even before that but one of my Edge stable installations doesn't even have that.
HotCakeX DanielRyan I have the same issue. It is not phased rollout, because on one of my PCs with that version of edge the History Hub works fine on one user account, and I can add the history item to the toolbar. However on an alternative user account the history hub just shows as 3 tabs with no location text and the option to add under appearance is missing. On my laptop with the same version of Edge it all works fine.
- Alright well don't worry then, I mean you can go one step further and reset your PC but i don't think that's worth it. I'm sure it's just a staged rollout and your Edge is fine.
you can install Edge Beta and went to version 90 today.
it's the most stable channel of Edge insider
https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download - I had tried deleting the entire profile before it made no difference. My Edge versions in BOTH accounts show as Version 89.0.774.54 which is the current stable version, yet in one user account it works and in the other account it doesn't.
I have been into user, appdata, local, microsoft, edge, user data, deleted the default directory so it removed all user config from edge and it started anew. This made no difference either. Yes, like the other user said apparently it doesn't work in stable channel.
if you believe your Edge profile is corrupted, delete it from settings and then make a new one and sign in again.
HotCakeX Just for completeness, I have some screenshots from one PC two different accounts. On the one with issues I have the History hub but the contents is corrupt, and I do not have the add history button.
- I tried --enable-features=msHistoryHub it didn't help.
- Yes, same executable. nothing changes in the executables, we all have the same thing.
the remote server just sends activation commands to turn on certain features.
just like those in Edge:flags
when you enable/disable them, nothing changes in the executable. Different user accounts on the same PC ?? Having different features available under the same app.
That seems strange as the Executables are common to all accounts only user data different.Using the same user account on my laptop gives different results
- Different Windows 10 user accounts? then that's the normal sign of staged rollout.
- I should also say I have reset edge to default and restarted PC etc. Cleared all Caches and history. Using settings, reset settings and cache clear options
HotCakeX I am not referring to Edge Profiles BUT to Windows 10 user accounts, I set up a new profile in Edge under the misbehaving user account and the History is still corrupt. even when looking in settings appearance as suggested.
