I don't really appreciate random unidentified things like this that just turn up, especially on a work laptop.

Microsoft Edge | Other | Windows 10

Try this:

Edge > Settings > Search for "Briefcase" > Customize appearance > Show briefcase icon on work profiles | Are you satisfied with seeing the briefcase icon on work profiles?

Hello Jamie,

I am Jaspreet Singh.

The icon change is for "edge for business" mode of the brower which was announced to be coming in an update later a couple of months back

A few more functionalities have been added in this month : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/mi...

    Many browsers don't have this option, but I have found this:

    1. If you have browser profile with a business account as the active account, then the briefcase appears.
    2. To remove the briefcase, create another profile and do not log in to sync with a business account
    3. Switch to that profile.
    4. Now delete the business profile
    5. Restart the browser (or even the computer!) - it's Microsoft after all, what would they be without restarts! :-)

    Briefcase icon is gone.

    I have this "Briefcase" image on my Edge icon, but when I search for "Briefcase" in setting, nothing is found? How to get my clear icon back, without this ill-conceived distraction?
