ERROR: “Bad Request – Request Too Long” When Signing In To Microsoft 365 Using Work Profiles
When the following conditions are true:
Using the latest version of Microsoft Edge browser.When the browser is signed in to any Microsoft 365 account.When browsing to any Microsoft 365 website.
I receive the following browser error:
Bad Request – Request Too Long
HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.
When I sign in to any Work Profile, no matter the account/tenant, the moment I browse to any Microsoft 365 page i.e. any website that redirects via: https://login.microsoftonline.com/, I receive the error above e.g. https://office.com, https://admin.microsoft.com, https://portal.azure.com etc.
If I sign-out from the Work Profile, everything works fine (i.e. I am presented with the usual Microsoft 365 sign-in dialogue for username and password, then 2FA code, then the expected page appears), if I then sign-in > browse > error … sign-out, works fine, sign-in, error etc. … consistently repeatable.
Using ‘Browse as Guest’ or any ‘Personal’ or ‘Work Profile’ without signing in works fine.
TROUBLESHOOTING ALREADY CARRIED OUT
Deleted/recreated all profiles.Signed in / out multiple accounts on multiple tenants.Sync options > all, some, none.‘Automatic sign in on Microsoft Edge’ enabled & disabled.‘Allow single sign-on for work or school sites using this profile’ enabled & disabled.‘Automatic profile switching’ all options on & all off.Deleted all cache/cookies, from all time in all profiles.Reset settings in all profiles.Completely uninstalled/reinstalled Microsoft Edge (i.e. Safe Mode > delete all files > all profile data> all temp files > all registry entries).
Q1 What could cause this error, only when the Work Profile is signed-in?
Q2 Aside from syncing settings, how would signing-in to the Work Profile effect OATH requests to https://login.microsoftonline.com/?
Q3 Has anybody experienced this or something like this before?
Q4 Are there any troubleshooting steps I haven’t tried?
