No HDR option in EDGE Browser on YouTube

[TKCPrime]

Hi everyone, first time poster. I have an issue with Edge Browser in Windows 10 as it does not give me option to play HDR videos when choosing video quality in YouTube. The weird part is that Chrome does give me HDR options when available. I've checked the same video with both browsers. Now my real problem is that YouTube buffers a lot when playing 4K 60fps HDR content under Chrome. My CPU (an i5 3570K@stock) usage peaks at 100% when it buffers. Edge plays 4K 60fps fine but no HDR. How could I get Edge to also play HDR content from YouTube. The test video in question is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXb3EKWsInQ&t=10s
