Edge browser Syncing issues across MULTIPLE "profiles". I don't want Profile 1 favorites to sync with Profile 2 favorites.

Question

I'm using Windows 10 & 11 across 3 different computers along with Edge as my browser. I have 3 different profiles set up that I like to keep separate from each other (e.i. like favorites, settings and such).

I ran into a problem a few days ago where ALL profiles were syncing together.

So profile 1 is syncing with profile's 2 & 3 across all computers. That's not what I want.

What I DO want is to sync profile 1's favorites, settings, etc, with ONLY profile 1, across ALL computers. Same with profile 2 & 3. I want to keep each profile separate from each other.

Is this possible and how do I do it? I have turned off syncing but now Profile 1 doesn't sync to Profile 1 on my other computers browsers. What's going on and what did I do wrong?

Grateful for anyone's help on this. Please and thank you ♥

Hello, Maui Trader

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

Thank you for your feedback. It looks like the current config file may be messed up. You need to take a backup of all your current configuration files. After that go to your account center and clean up your sync settings, under Devices, Cloud Sync (profiles 1 and 2). After that type in the EDGE address bar:

edge://sync-internals/

In the bottom right corner, select Clean Sync (clean up server data), and after that click Request Sync. Do the same for your other profiles.

I look forward to your feedback, which will help me locate your problem.
