Intermittent Google Account Logouts in Edge Beta

Intermittent Google Account Logouts in Edge Beta

観月唯 0

I reset Edge beta on a Windows 10 computer.
After syncing and logging into my Google accounts, for some unknown reason, I would be completely logged out every so often (I was logged into more than one Google account).

I have configured to clear cookies when closing the browser, but I have added [*.]google.com to the whitelist.

Also, I've tried completely clearing cookies and logging back into Google, but I still get logged out unpredictably. It seems that if I'm idle for a period, it automatically logs me out.

Env:
Windows | 10 x64
Edge | 149.0.4022.33 beta x64

Hi 観月唯

Even though you’ve added [*.]google.com to the exception list, Google authentication relies on multiple domains (e.g., accounts.google.com, googleapis.com, YouTube, etc.). If any of these cookies are cleared or not preserved correctly, you’ll be signed out.

Since you also have “clear cookies on close” enabled, it can still remove other required session cookies.

What you can check next:

Add all key Google domains manually under Sites that can always use cookies, including:
- https://accounts.google.com
- https://www.google.com
- https://mail.google.com
- https://*.googleapis.com
Enable “including third-party cookies” for those entries
Ensure third-party cookies are not fully blocked
Test with “clear cookies on close” temporarily disabled to confirm the cause
If the issue persists, try a new Edge profile to rule out profile corruption

If the problem only occurs on Edge Beta, consider verifying on the Stable channel to determine if it’s build-specific.

However, I don't have this problem in the Edge stable version on the same computer, even when only adding "[*.]google.com".

Therefore, I believe this problem is related to the Edge beta version, but I cannot find which setting might be related to this problem, because I confirmed that both browsers are synchronized, and all visible settings are identical.

The most outrageous part is that I have twice directly deleted the entire profile and re-created it, but the problem still persists.

Hi 観月唯

Given that this only happens on Edge Beta (same system, same synced settings, and even after profile recreation), this strongly points to build‑specific behavior rather than a configuration issue.

There is no specific user-facing setting in Edge that directly controls this behavior beyond the cookie/clear-on-exit policies you’ve already checked.

Recommended approach:

Verify on Stable (control case) → already confirmed working

Continue using Stable for normal use

For Beta:

report via Edge → Help → Send feedback (include diagnostics)

optionally test briefly with “clear cookies on close” disabled to confirm session handling difference

This is most likely a Beta channel cookie/session handling differences for Google accounts, not something caused by your configuration.

I might try installing the dev version first for testing.
