    Hi @BALAJI RUDRAWAR,

    So, I don't know how the setting, import browser data from chrome on each launch setting was on.

    The import browser data option you mentioned is in here: edge://settings/profiles/importBrowsingData

    Because of which I have lost my edge history.

    Your original browsing history data is not lost. When you import other browser data, they will be added in the original data (rather than overwritten). I've tested this, so all you need to do is find the original data.

    To do this, you can filter all browsing history using the Filter by date feature, like this:

    User's image

    Also please remove this option. We have the option of export data in Chrome and edge , it is enough. because of this options , new unnecessary problem occur

    If you have any feature requests for Edge, you can send feedback to corresponding team. Press Alt+Shift+I to edit your request and send it.

    Best regards,

    Xudong Peng
