Pinning Edge on taskbar for each different profile makes some not display the profile name
AlexB Great question, thanks for letting us know. If you haven't yet, can you please submit feedback and diagnostic data through the browser?
In the meantime, Avi Vaid, can you provide any insights on whether this is intended profile behavior for Enterprise accounts?

Deleted I've done that already, I just decided to post here to check what other people think and if there is any current way to fixing it.
I've tried this using both Microsoft free account and AAD, behaviour seems the same. WHat I find odd is that some of these profiles got the name showing up with the right name when you hover the mouse cursor on the taskbar, meanwhile others just show the profile name when it was created like "Profile 1, 2 and so on" and if you rename them nothing happens, even if I unpin and pin the profile back

AlexB This seems fairly strange and is probably a bug. I'll message you privately so we can investigate further on email.
I have had this bug for awhile now myself and just now following up with it. I have 10 Edge Profiles that I created about 3 months ago. Half of them show the correct profile names (ie pharmacy) while the other show the default profile name and have never changed (ie Profile 1).Avi Vaid
Each profile has the name correct one you open it. There is no difference in behavior if it's connect to a MSA or not as half of those that have a name and half that don't either do or do not have a MSA attached.
I thought it might have been an error during the creation of the profile and the way you created a profile but regardless of what steps I took to make a new profile I had a 50/50 chance of the profile name showing incorrectly in the taskbar.
- Avi VaidThanks for reporting this, we are looking into this on a thread with Alex and hope to root cause this issue and fix it in the product. You should benefit from that fix as well by default. I'll reach out again in case we need more info.
