Managing tabs, address bar, and search settings in Edge on Windows 10

Hello
That started suddenly
Activating the "collection" tab on Edge produce the following error in
"This content is blocked. Contact the site owner to fix the issue."
And on mobile (Edge for Android), "collection" buttons give that error:
"It's not you, it's us
Bing isn't available right now, but everything should be back to normal very soon."
This occurs only with my profile synced to my Microsoft account. Other profiles using other account work find on both devices
I would be Ok to completely erase my synced profile (but I don't know how to do that) but *not* my Microsoft account.

Hi everyone,
The engineers are working to restore Collection functionality as soon as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your patience and understanding.
Update: We have fixed the problem. We appreciate your feedback and cooperation.
My collections are back now, I hope all of you have them again as well!!
I was able to run Edge as Administrator and that brought back my collections. After closing the browser with elevated permissions I am able to access collections in my normal Edge browser.
Collections worked for me as a standard user after I invoked it with elevated permissions, created a collection, and closed the browser. I regret not having tried it as a standard user first, to confirm that it was still broken. Had you done that before trying your workaround?
Thanks so much for that suggestion. It worked for me, too, although it left some detritus in the collections. First, Edge said it needed to migrate my collections (whatever that means). It then put up a progress bar and promptly said the migration failed, try again later. But upon restarting Edge in non-administrator mode, all of my collections are there, as well as a bunch of additional collections folders with similar names but no content. (Similar means Collection A becomes Collection A(1)). I've deleted the (1) collections and everything seems back to normal.
That explains it. Thanks.
