My Google Account keeps changing within my Personal and Edge "Work" Workspace

I cannot for the life of me retain my google account logins to just leave it as I left it across different google-owned platforms. I want in my Personal Edge Browser window to keep signed into my personal google account with my normal personal youtube activity. And I want my "Work" Workspace to just retain my work-related logins and only be signed into Google Analytics with my work google account. This is the way it always behaved in Google Chrome for years, until i recently switched all my bookmarks and default browser preferences over to Edge this problem just keeps persisting.

I seemed to have tried everything I can think of i.e. signing out of the ones i don't want on each respective website but once I visit youtube and browse with my preferred personal account, the next session in my seperate Work Workspace keeps forcing that personal google account into google analytics which doesn't have the credentials obviously and I have to manually clear the error message and switch again to my work google account.

It's just so incredibly frustrating and also surprising seeing as its the entire point of the "Workspaces" feature. To essentially have all of my browsing syncd up and remembered in one Browser Workspace Window and then everything personal retained in the default one. This happens on my home PC (Windows 11) and my work PC (Windows 10).

    Hi @MJ ,

    Do you mean that when you log in to Google Analytics on your work profile, it still logs in as your personal Google account? 

    Please go to edge://settings/profiles/multiProfileSettings, please check for the settings under the Profile preferences, are there anything enabled? User's image You could try to uncheck options and drop-down select Default profile for external links settings.
