Missing history button in Edge Stable?

I've waited a while to ask this because I thought maybe it's a feature that's being rolled out in stages but it seems to have been around for a long time now and rolled out simultaneously on all of m...

    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.

Yep I too am running Version 90.0.818.62 (Official build) (64-bit) and also still have no sign of this History menu. It's really starting to seem like this is a bug at this point but since we don't have any information from the Edge team about the rollout of this feature it's difficult to know if it's a bizarrely slow feature rollout. I feel at this point I might only get this feature in a few years when I upgrade my computer because it doesn't seem to like something about this one.

yep, I feel you are right DanielRyan, I have a 6 month old laptop as well as my main PC, and running on the same A/C it gets all the latest Edge features when they are released !
I believe MS people are trying to pull the wool over us quoting A/B Rollout testing as an excuse for a broken feature. I'm sure a quick reg tweak should fix our problem, which may have arisen from the history of our machines... mine for example was an upgrade from Windows 8.

    I just updated to the very latest stable release. STILL no History button available in the options. I fear it is a corrupt registry entry for the one Windows profile. I am happy to make changes at my own risk but I do not want to move my existing profile to a new one with the button. Can anyone steer me in the right area?

      Yep I'm now on v. 91 as well and still no history button. I work with managing computers and basically I'm seeing it available on every computer I work with now but not my own personal one. I wonder if it's possibly due to having installed Edge from the very earliest download version that was available via the Google search before it was officially released.

        Hello 

        I ask if by default you have Microsoft Bing?

        I also installed earlier than all Edge and it works properly
