Edge Settings to backup and restore?

win10freak · 26 Aug 2023

Is there any way to backup the settings that I made like block ads, disabled all services, modified some security settings, appearances, disabled password autofills, disabled personal info, and things like that and then copy them to a USB media so whenever I reinstall Windows 10, It would just save me time and then I will not have to go through all the settings again?

Which and where this file is located?

Where does Edge save all the settings that I had done?

Code:

%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Edge

I copy this path just to copy flags, but the best way is to use polices, you can setup roughly 95% settings like that.

Try synching Edge settings:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...lect%20Sync%20.

Then your browser should pick these up after a clean install.
Enable or Disable Sync Microsoft Edge Settings in Windows 10

- you'd need to check exactly which data that covers.

- it's said to work with Firefox like this.

I haven't needed to clean install Windows in 6+ years- it sounds as if you do quite frequently..
