Is it possible to export the browsing history to a readable report from Edge?

I have an employee who has been basically browsing the internet instead of working, including visiting some "choice" websites. I'm not talking just occasionally either, when he was supposed to be working while I was on holiday, he managed to amass over 2700 items in his history in one week, all during work hours. I want a report that shows the web addresses and the time/date visited.

Thanks for any help!

I would be very careful around this topic, there is a lot of privacy issues with monitoring staff.

Do you work for a proper company with proxies and so on or is this a computer directly connected to the Internet? There is a history on the device but it might not be reliable and is not easy to export.

Also talk to the person, that's what managing is about. Set expectations for their performance.

I own the business, the computer is part of a peer to peer network that is connected directly to the internet. I have a company that helps with staff/employment issues, I just want the report from the pc, that's all.

I will be following correct procedures, he's been spoken to before about using the internet during work hours, I thought the problem was solved. I was wrong unfortunately.

Edit - all sorted now thanks.
