Dear Yashwanth

Help!

The Favourites folder I get is not the up-to-date one. Where is the up-to-date folder?

I don't think you can view the up-to-date favorites folder. 

AppData is a hidden folder so enable the viewing of hidden folders in File explorer first

I see the Microsoft Edge/favorites but it is not the up-to-date list.

As I understand it, Edge has now changed its behaviour.  Its Favorites are now saved in a database instead of as separate shortcuts in a folder [i.e. it is no longer done the IE way].

I have not been able to find any Microsoft confirmation of this but did find a reference to the change along with revised procedures for backing up Edge Favorites in TenForums -
