Latest Edge download and history icons missing in tool bar and not available in appearance in settings

Can Your explain the complete process of what you did i am facing similar problems .

I am having the same problem of icons missing from the toolbar could you please elaborate this process. I would be really helpful.

Thank you for that - it worked!

I could not delete the folder from file explorer and had to use an admin PowerShell and Remove-item to delete it, but I followed your steps and it worked perfectly. Thank you

Did you ever get an answer to this? I have many users with the same complaint. The Downloads is in the taskbar on most systems but some systems it is in the status bar at the bottom of the window. The old way (Chrome). They like the new taskbar version of the download manager but it is not an option on these systems. This thread is a bit old so even with a controlled rollout, this should have gotten to everyone by now.

One article says to click on the elipsis (...) and then right click on Downloads but doing this on these systems goes straight to the Downloads page (edge://Downloads/All) rather than giving you a context menu. And as OP presented, the option is not there in the Appearance Settings. History option is not present either, but that is not a user complaint on my end.

Versions of Windows are all the same (21H1) and Edge is the same and up-to-date.

No answer. The problem persists.

By any chance, were the ones that "work" created after the one that doesn't?

I noticed the same symptom. The account where Edge is not working appears to have existed during a certain update that locks it in.

Have you deleted that account on that computer and recreated it?

I got rid of the issue by deleting and recreating.

If you are all backed up in OneDrive and sync is on in Edge and other browsers, you should be able recreate with a little effort and time.
