Microsoft has added a new setting to Edge profiles in the Canary version to inform the user that Edge will connect data from your profile with Windows.

Microsoft Edge is going to make this data available to Windows features such as Search box and others for you to access when you enable the new Profiles setting in the Edge browser.

“When turned on, Microsoft Edge will connect local browsing data from this profile with the rest of Windows. Turning this feature on will help you find information from your history, favorites, top sites, and recent tabs more easily using features such as the Windows Search box”.
