Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.

You can override this policy for individual channels by enabling (1) the 'Allow installation' policy for specific channels. If you disable (2) this policy, the installation of Microsoft Edge is blocked. This only affects the installation of Microsoft Edge software when the 'Allow installation' policy is set to Not Configured.

This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
