Answer 1

If you are losing your browsing history after a Microsoft update, it may be due to the way Microsoft Edge handles history and updates. Here are a few points to consider:

1. InPrivate Browsing: If you are using InPrivate mode, your browsing history will not be saved after you close the InPrivate window. Ensure you are not in this mode when browsing.
2. Guest Mode: Similar to InPrivate, if you are using Guest mode, your history will not be retained once the session is closed.
3. Clearing History Settings: Check your settings to see if you have enabled any options that might automatically clear your history upon updates or when closing the browser. You can manage this by going to Settings > Privacy, search, and services and reviewing the Clear browsing data options.
4. Policy Settings: If your device is managed by an organization, there may be group policies in place that affect how history is saved. You might want to contact your IT administrator to understand these policies.
5. Updates Impact: Sometimes, updates can reset certain settings. After an update, you may need to re-enable history saving features if they were turned off.

If the problem persists, consider checking for any known issues with the latest Microsoft Edge updates or reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.

Hello,

Please specify which history record was lost exactly.

Was this browser history?

Or maybe file version history?
Let me know more when you can,
