Policy
Set disk cache size, in bytes
Microsoft Edge
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows7
This policy configures the disk cache size in Microsoft Edge. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge uses the specified cache size, regardless of whether the user set the --disk-cache-size command-line flag. The value defined in this policy is treated as a suggestion to the caching system, not a strict limit. Values below a few megabytes are rounded up to a reasonable minimum. If you set the value to 0, the default cache size is used and users can't override it. It's recommended not to configure a custom value, as Microsoft Edge automatically manages the cache size for optimal performance. Setting a small value can degrade performance and increase network usage. If you don’t configure this policy, the default size is used, but users can override it with the --disk-cache-size flag. Note: The specified value is treated as a hint to multiple cache subsystems. The total disk usage of all caches can be larger than (but within the same order of magnitude as) the configured value.
