Upon getting the latest (Oct 18) update for my 950XL I find my web site Favourites, browsing history and reading list have been wiped? They are in place on my desktop/laptop/tablet, just not my phone. Turning syncing off and on hasn't helped. How can I get them working again, or has this feature now been discontinued? Failing that, how can I manually import my Favourites?

Something has been broken, happens to me too.

In my case I only use edge on my phone so don't have many favourites, they are synced up on my desktop, but have to manually add them on my phone.

My Edge favorites stopped syncing on my 950XL and Desktop months ago and I have yet to find solution. None of the solutions on web work. Now my 950XL can't download books I've purchased on MS store.

Same problem for me. I picked up a Surface GO, and i've tried everything, but Edge won't sync anything with my other devices. very frustrating!

I spent more time on this today and now have favorites on my 950xl. I believe the problem was with my SP5 despite it being the only one with my favorites. My favorites must have somehow been wiped from my MS account on an update and my Surface was not syncing. Under accounts, I turned off sync and rebooted. Then turned sync back on. I then repaired Edge under apps (in settings). Not sure which fix worked, but my Edge favorites are now syncing. I believe the Edge sync fixes need to be applied to all devices on account or at least until problem is solved. In my case, I only applied fixes to devices without my favorites, my 950xl and desktop, not knowing it was actually my SP5. I went months before figuring this out today.

Oh, it took several hours before my favorites synced on my 950xl after applying fixes to my SP5. Thus, don't expect immediate response after applying fixes.

Nothing syncs anymore. My themes used to sync between all my devices; not anymore. Actually...the only thing that syncs is OndDrive...thankfully. Still no Edger syncing....
