    I verified this workaround DOES work on Windows 10 Pro, I don't have the Home edition but that should not matter as long as Edge is version 131.0.2903.112 or 131.0.2903.146

    My main PC recently updated Edge from 131.0.2903.112 to 31.0.2903.146 and the folders are still yellow.

    Handy app to find all instances of Edge and the associated shortcuts:

    Everything

    https://www.voidtools.com/

    These are the setting of the Edge icon on the task bar and on the Windows 10 Start Menu tile.

    Windows 10 Pro 22H2

    C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar

    Edge shortcut location: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

    Edge version: 131.0.2903.146

    Start in: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application"

    Edge target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features=msFavoritesMonolineFolder
