Has anyone been having fun with Edge?
I have been using Microsoft products since DOS 1.0... Yep I'm so old that I can remember when we had to rub rocks together to get dirt to plant peanuts. Edge is unique that it has harvested all my favorites, since day one, and given me the dark side of Backup/restore. I tried my friends, and I have no enemies to ask, they all died of old age. And now Internet Explorer is being hauled off to the boneyard. Work, of course, doesn't use anything but IE... Soooo, me being the old geek and all that, they off load their problems to me. Does anybody out there in the land of people have had favorites listing so long that they could be used to fish with?

Edge Favorites 3 Concerns - Here We Go Again!
Maybe it's just me and I need to eat some humble pie, maybe it's Edge, and the fact that I'm running Edge Canary, and Edge Regular on my Laptop, I don't know. Concern #1:Lately I've noticed that sites I've brought up that I know are in my favorites are showing in the tool bar that they aren't. When I look in the favorites list using that awful favorite star, yup they're there. This site is a good example of that. When I looked in the what ever it's for "Favorites" folder, it's there also. Anyone have an idea as to why this is happening? Concern #2:Ah! But Wait There's More! I use the Favorites Bar quite heavily. It's pretty simple, or at least it was, right click and add to favorites bar. Nope! not any more! not in my Edge Canary Browser. Haven't checked the regular spread yet, will have to do that. Again any ideas. Concern #3: Does anyone know that if by changing the "Default" flag to "Disable in the Import from Edge Legacy that that may clear up some of the problems, or would that just cause more. I'm really just trying to get my favorite across the devices to match.

Microsoft Maps Location
Anyone know if Maps or Microsoft's location services were changed recently? I moved from one side of the country to the other and built a new computer. It showed my location as my previous address much to my dismay. I turned off all location services and set my time and weather manually as well as clearing any incorrect locations from my account. We then went back to visit for a month, and after returning, I tried turning location back on and it correctly showed my new address. Starting at the beginning of this week, my location had drifted by a couple houses, and today it went back to my old address on the other side of the country, thus making my weather and time settings wrong as well. I'm hoping this isn't going to require me to take another trip just to get it to work correctly again.
