    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..

    This work around did work for me. I have my yellow folders back. The key is launching Edge from the shortcut that is modified with the additional code. In my case I repined that modified shortcut to my task bar.
