Backing up favorites in edge

Went to backup my favourites in edge earlier today and did a google on how to achieve it and an article came up from this site.
Followed the info from the page that came up actually it's one that Brink has written.
I opened file explorer and copied the ''

%LocalAppData%PackagesMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbweACMicrosoftEdgeUserDefault''into

the address bar pressed enter but nothing showed up in the file explorer screen,Also checked the settings in control panel of the section show or hide files and folders the box for show was already checked.Any help here please.Ooops the into should have slipped in when I did the quote.Sorry.

%LocalAppData%PackagesMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbweACMicrosoftEdgeUserDefault

Should have been as above.
Many thanks.

Hello menu,

What build of Windows 10 do you have installed?

For now, here's the tutorial for backing up favorites in Microsoft Edge to see if it may help.

Microsoft Edge Favorites - Backup and Restore in Windows 10

Thanks Brink I have the latest update Windows 10 home 318.

The link you gave that's the one I followed.

Double check to see if you may have your favorites in the old location below still.

Code:

%LocalAppData%PackagesMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbweACMicrosoftEdgeUserDefaultFavorites

Brink Sorry still nothing coming up.

Will get back to you later.It's getting late here now.I do hope we can fix this.

Build No: 1511 10586.318

Ok, I'll see you later.

Do you have any favorites available in Microsoft Edge?

As a test, add a favorite to see if the location in your first post shows up afterwards.

Thanks I tried your last with no luck
I don't know if I have the correct favourite settings,I checked my wife's laptop and its the same as my desktop.
Regarding the Favourite bar on top I don't have the fav bar set to show its on the right hand side,I click on the fav star then select what I require from there.
See screen shot.Possible that I have missed out in the settings.

Many thanks Brink.

Well thanks for that.
Would it be possible for you to give me a rundown on how do you get to find your favourite folder.
Could you Please give step by step on how you get to see the fa folder.Then we will see if I'm doing something wrong here.
I would be much appreciated if you could.
