Edge just like Chrome sync bookmarks based on your MS and Google accounts. If you login to multiple devices using you MS account your wallpapers will be the same on all devices you use that account to login to. It's the same with bookmarks. I helped a friend on mine that was having as issue with WIndows 10. It looked like the culprit was his profile had been corrupted. So I created a new local account for him and he asked how do I get my bookmarks into chrome. I told him to go the the Chrome setting under sign in and to sign into his google account. He did that and the bookmarks appeared. The same thing with Edge as long as they were created using a MS account.

I am using the same account on all the devices, also the wallpaper on desktop is not syncing!

EDIT:
It is possible that the problem is i have Windows 10 pro on my home pc and Windows 10 Core on my working pc?

one more suggestion - on you work pc, remove the account and then add it back
But yes, your observation might hold true

Something like this (working from memory)

go to settings > accounts > where you have your email signed in, select use local account instead. Then restart. After restarting add your email account again

Yes but is that account the Local or Microsoft account. If local they won't sync if MS account they will sync everywhere that account logs into.

that's the way it works, by using the MS account to sync the bookmarks across pcs
