My favourites Bar icons in Windows 11 are not coloured. How can I restore the colour.

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.

I have FOUND A FIX for my 2024 HP Pavilion All-In-One Desktop, using Micrsoft Windows 11 Version 24H2, Edge Version 133.0.3065.69 (Official build) (64-bit), Edge Favorites folders Mono color. I have been able to return the folder color back to YELLOW on all folders. Please find below my findings.

First step was to change the properties in the msedge.exe file as many have stated to modify the "Favorites mono line folder" to be disabled as in the linked procedure here: Microsoft Edge drops yellow for folders (favourites), gets monoline transparent look

Second I opened Edge, proceeded to the upper right 3 dots (...) option to enter Edge Settings.

Select the Settings drop down menu in the upper left.

Select Appearance. -------- Please see picture below

Scroll down a little until you reach the Page Colors. Turn off page colors.

Next Deselect "Only apply page colors when high contrast themes are on".

Next Deselect "Try the new look and feel of Microsoft Edge".

RESTART your computer not just log out.

Once you have restarted may you be amazed that it worked as I was.

Once you have completed these steps I am hopeful it will fix the majority of Mono Folder issues within Edge. I have been searching and troubleshooting for quite a while to fix this issue. Hope it helps..

Didn't work.

Same here. I have suggested elsewhere this is NOT a good look if MS EDGE is trying to grab more of the market, which currently is pathetic. It's stuff like this that is not helping and it's a damn good browser. Appearance matters!. The numbers of replies on this topic should shout to whoever a heads up. I hate this so much I have resisted moving to EDGE. Recently moved again to it and found it still the same. It looks cheap and unfinished and it's the first thing you see on the menu bar! It's boring, difficult to see and just blah!

Come on FIX IT!!!

Does anyone on MS office bother anymore?

This did not seem to work
