    Sorry to hear that. It is definitely a frustrating issue. I have had the same issue on 3 different generations of PC's and a laptop. This is the first fix to repair the problem on my pc's.

    The (--disable-features=msFavoritesMonolineFolder) modification to the MS Edge shortcut works well for me whenever I open Edge from the shortcut.

    BUT – if Edge is closed and I open a link from an email or even a link from the Windows 11 "weather/widget panel", then that instance of Edge reverts to displaying the transparent folders.

    So at least part of the time I can have my yellow folders displayed, but certainly not all the time.

    Unless I'm missing something a more permanent solution is needed.

    I have the same exact version 131.0.2903.112 (Official build) (64-bit) and my folders are still hollow rectangles. This entire thread is a waste of time!

    Not a waste of time at all. After following the instructions about the addition to shortcut target, deactivating the two Edge settings and rebooting (in other words, doing exactly what the thread said), my folders reverted to the desired color. I guess threads waste time if the advice is not followed.
