The "pin" button is missing from the download history list. Where is it, how do I get it back.

This is an important regression in workflow, for those that download 10 pdfs at a time and then open them all in the browser.

My personal observation has been Edge for Business is missing the push pin, while "regular" Edge has it. Updated Edge for Business today to Version 145.0.3800.82 (Official build) (64-bit) and its still missing push pin, so seems "by design" by some progammer who does not use Edge ;)

Hope this helps others. I have the same problem and solved it as follows:
- Press Ctl+J
- Right-click on the Download icon and select "Pin"
Downloads icon persists after doing so.

THIS is NOT the problem!

I really do wish that people would read the problem rather than commenting on what they think the problem is...

The pin on the drop down (next to the ...) is what is missing. The pin as it should be is highlighted on a screenshot from another machine where it is working correctly - this PINS the Downloads list to the right-hand side of the screen, as favourites and history can be pinned.

which gives you this...

The issue is that the Downloads "dialog" is missing this pin on multiple machines...

so it is no longer possible to pin the list of downloads to the right-hand side of the screen!
