Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Specifies whether a Microsoft Edge channel can be installed on domain-joined devices. If you enable (1) this policy for a channel, Microsoft Edge will not be blocked from installation. If you disable (0) this policy for a channel (or set it to 'Installs disabled'), Microsoft Edge will be blocked from installation. If you don't configure this policy for a channel, the 'Allow installation default' policy configuration determines whether users can install that channel of Microsoft Edge. If you set this policy to Force Installs (Per-User) (6), Microsoft Edge Canary may only be deployed on a Per-User basis to all machines if Microsoft Edge Update is pre-installed Per-User. Requires Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.155.43 or higher. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.
