Edge keeps signing me out of Google at random times

Question

Edge keeps signing me out of Google at random times

Fu Zikai 5

I've commented under this question a while ago because I've had the exact same issue as did the original question poster.
I'll repost the details of my problem here:

"Having the exact same symptoms here as does @manigmaX , the instances where I get signed out of Google & other related Google services (e.g. Gmail, Drive, Classroom) happen at random intervals typically once or twice every day, but not specifically because Edge closes. I do not think that the issue is specific to Windows build (currently on Win10 21H2 build 19044.7417)

For reference, this is a screenshot of edge://settings/privacy/clearBrowsingData/clearOnClose. I've even specifically listed www.google.com to be specifically allowed to save cookies in edge://settings/privacy/cookies. As you can see any option to clear any browsing data has been toggled off, so cookie clearing cannot be the issue.

I've tried deleting my cookies to start over, and even tried repairing my installation of Microsoft Edge through Apps & Features but to no avail.

In case you do need a list of active extensions:
AHA Music - Song Finder for Browser
Microsoft Rewards
Free Download Manager
Reddit Ad Blocker - Hide Promoted Posts
uBlock Origin Lite
WA Web Plus by Elbruz Technologies

edge version: 149.0.4022.80 (Official build) (64-bit)"

To add on, I've also noticed that I get signed out of copilot.microsoft.com occassionally, then I'm required to sign in again.
But sometimes the sign-in page does not give me the option to click on my already signed in account (even though I'm signed into Edge and sync is working fine)

Please help, thanks

I'm still experiencing the same issue. I get signed out of my Google account and related services (Gmail, Drive, Classroom, etc.) at seemingly random times—usually once or twice a day. It doesn't appear to be tied to closing Microsoft Edge, as it can happen while the browser is still open. For reference, I'm currently running Windows 10 21H2 (build 19044.7417). Has anyone found a reliable fix or identified the root cause since this thread was started?

This keeps the thread current, confirms the issue persists, and invites anyone with a solution to respond.

Last few comments in the first thread, I thought I had it but the issue just popped up again after a while, so yeah issue is still ongoing
the signing out applies not only to Google & related services but also microsoft sign-in on Copilot website specifically (doesn't apply to learn.microsoft.com for some funny reason)

I have yet to identify a root cause or solution to the signouts, I'm thinking it must be an Edge-related issue seeing that it happens on both Win 10 and 11 versions.

I also have the exact same signing out issue as you.
Just thought I'd leave here that I also am running AHA Music - Song Finder for Browser and uBlock Origin (but not the lite version).
Just in case there's a connection there, since we have the same issue and same extensions.

Also on Edge latest version (Version 150.0.4078.65 (Official build) (64-bit)), but on Windows 11 Home 25H2 build 26200.8875

update/solution:

I have been using the uBlock Origin extension instead for adblocking and so far it's been working fine.

I'm sceptical about uBlock Origin Lite being the cause of the random sign-outs, as user Nezzen has also experienced the same issues albeit while using uBlock Origin and AHA Music - Song Finder for Browser.

Not sure if "using a clean Edge profile for roughly 3 weeks before installing a few extensions" will be able to solve the issue for everyone else, but it seems to have worked for me.

I think I'll temporarily list this as the solution, until either somebody else comes up with a more direct/surefire method or the issue comes back to haunt me once again.

As of writing this, Edge version 150.0.4078.83 (Official build) (64-bit)

Hi Fu Zikai,

Does the problem occur on a newly created Edge profile?

Please create a new Edge profile without changing any settings or installing any add-ons to test.

If you have further information, please feel free to let me know.

Hi Fu Zikai,

I hope everything is going well on your end. Just wanted to check in and see how things are going for you lately, anything you'd like to share or discuss?

Hi Lucus-V,

Sorry for the late reply, but I took some time to try out your suggestion.

Yesterday I created a fresh profile and signed into my personal google account (no Edge profile sync, no Microsoft account login, no extensions, just Google + related google services), and at the same time signing into google on my main Edge profile. I made sure to check in every once in a while to observe any changes. Just today when I logged on, the fresh Edge profile managed to stay signed in, while I got signed out on my main Edge profile.

What do you think could be the cause of the problem? What do I do next? Are there other specific details you need?

Hi Fu Zikai,

Thank you for the information. Based on what you shared, this issue is likely not related to Microsoft Edge itself, but rather to your Edge profile or installed extensions. I recommend syncing your Microsoft Edge profile, then removing it and creating a new one. After that, sign in again to restore your data through sync.

Please note that this process will remove all cookies, so you will need to sign in again to the websites you are currently logged into.

If you notice anything unusual along the way, feel free to share more details, and I will be happy to assist further.

Hi Lucus-V,

It seems that the issue has been fixed.
I did as you said to delete the preexisting profile and create a new one to sign into to sync and for Google services (as well as starting with minimal extensions). So far, I haven't been signed out of Google so it seems to be working fine. I'm still not sure if it's something about my old profile that broke, or something about the active extensions I've used previously that broke Google services, so I'll continue testing a bit more to determine what exactly broke the old profile. Thanks so much.

I take that back, it's happening again

is there a possibility that the signing out happens because i switch to a different network or something?

Hi Fu Zikai,

Please perform some additional testing using a newly created profile. This time, you can still sign in and sync your browser profile, but please disable all extensions before testing.

I've completely reset my profile once again, removed all extensions from the profile and went to edge://settings to reset to defaults

gonna test, catch up in a few days' time

It has been 4 whole days, it appears that having absolutely ZERO extensions will guarantee that Edge functions as intended (not surprising)

I'm starting to think that it has something to do with manifestV3 and extensions (specifically older adblockers) having conflicts

I'm going to try other extensions that are not adblockers, and see if they sign me out of Google

Hi Fu Zikai,

Thank you for the information.

It appears that a third-party browser extension may be causing the issue. Ad-blocking extensions are a common cause, as many of them include settings that automatically clear cookies or block cookie-related functionality.
