    Hi @Mariam Hamid,

    If you have turned on Edge Sync feature, you will have a chance to sync back the browsing history. Please check these steps:

    Use the following steps to perform a resync:

    1. Go to Settings > Profiles > Sync > Re-sync data to this device and then select on "Re-sync". A resync can take from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on how much of your data is stored in Microsoft's cloud.
    2. If sync problems persist after a resync, select "Still having sync problems? Try another option" to see more steps and then select "Reset sync". It's important to keep the browser open until the reset is fully complete.

    If you haven't turned on Sync before, I'm afraid there's no other way. Please turn on Sync in case of any data loss.
