Prevent Desktop Shortcut creation on install Remove Desktop Shortcuts upon update default Dev Control updater's communication with the Experimentation and Configuration Service In Microsoft Edge Update, the Experimentation and Configuration Service is used to deploy experimentation payload. Experimentation payload consists of a list of early in development features that Microsoft is enabling for testing and feedback. If you enable this policy, experimentation payload is downloaded from the Experimentation and Configuration Service. If you disable this policy, communication with the Experimentation and Configuration Service is stopped completely. If you don't configure this policy, on a managed device the behavior is same as policy 'disabled'. If you don't configure this policy, on an unmanaged device the behavior is same as policy 'enabled'. Installs disabled Target Channel override Use fixed proxy servers If you enable this policy a desktop shortcut is created when Microsoft Edge is installed. If you disable this policy, no desktop shortcut will be created when Microsoft Edge is installed. If you don’t configure this policy a desktop shortcut to Microsoft Edge will be created during installation. If Microsoft Edge is already installed, this policy will have no effect. If you don't configure this policy for a channel, the 'Prevent Desktop Shortcut creation upon install default' policy configuration determines shortcut creation when Microsoft Edge is installed. Extended Stable Allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience Minimum number of minutes between automatic update checks. Set this policy to the value 0 to disable all periodic network traffic by Microsoft Edge Update. This is not recommended, as it prevents Microsoft Edge Update itself from receiving stability and security updates. The 'Update policy override default' and per-application 'Update policy override' settings should be used to manage application updates rather than this setting. Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.119.43 and later Lets you specify the default behavior for all channels concerning the way Microsoft Edge Update handles available updates for Microsoft Edge. Can be overridden for individual channels by specifying the 'Update policy override' policy for those specific channels. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge Update handles Microsoft Edge updates according to how you configure the following options: - Always allow updates: Updates are always applied when found, either by periodic update check or by a manual update check. - Automatic silent updates only: Updates are applied only when they're found by the periodic update check. - Manual updates only: Updates are applied only when the user runs a manual update check. - Updates disabled: Updates are never applied. If you select manual updates, make sure you periodically check for updates by using the app's manual update mechanism, if available. If you disable updates, periodically check for updates, and distribute them to users. If you don't enable and configure this policy, Microsoft Edge Update handles available updates as specified by the 'Update policy override' policy. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain. Lets you specify whether or not automatic updates are enabled for the WebView2 Runtime. The WebView2 Runtime is a component used by applications to display web content. Automatic updates are enabled by default. Disabling automatic updates for the WebView2 Runtime might cause compatibility issues with applications that depend on this component. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge Update handles the WebView2 Runtime updates according to how you configure the following options: - Always allow updates: Updates are automatically downloaded and applied - Updates disabled: Updates are never downloaded or applied If you don't enable this policy, updates are automatically downloaded and applied. Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.34.3 and later Auto detect proxy settings Use a .pac proxy script Cacheable download URLs Force Installs (Per-User) This policy lets a user run Microsoft Edge (Edge HTML) and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) side-by-side. If this policy is set to “Not configured”, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) will replace Microsoft Edge (Edge HTML) after the Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) stable channel and the November 2019 security updates are installed. This is the same behavior as the “Disabled” setting. The “Disabled” setting blocks a side-by-side experience and Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) will replace Microsoft Edge (Edge HTML) after the Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) stable channel and the November 2019 security updates are installed. This is the same behavior as the “Not Configured” setting. When this policy is “Enabled”, Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) and Microsoft Edge (Edge HTML) can run side-by-side after Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) is installed. For this group policy to take affect, it must be configured before the automatic install of Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) by Windows Update. Note: ​A user can block the automatic update of Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) by using the Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Blocker Toolkit. Starting with Windows 10 version 20H2 Microsoft Edge Legacy and the side-by-side browser experience are not supported. If you set this policy to "Force delete system-level Desktop Shortcuts", any existing system-level Microsoft Edge desktop shortcuts will be deleted when the browser updates or the machine reboots. If you set this policy to "Force delete system-level and user-level Desktop Shortcuts", any existing system-level Microsoft Edge desktop shortcuts will be deleted when the browser updates or the machine reboots and any existing user-level desktop shortcuts will be deleted when the browser updates. This includes user-level desktop shortcuts that users might have made themselves. If you don't configure this policy, nothing will happen to existing Microsoft Edge desktop shortcuts. If you don't configure this policy for a channel, the 'Remove Desktop Shortcuts upon update default' policy configuration determines desktop shortcut removal. Never use a proxy Allow installation default URL to a proxy .pac file Applications Allows you to specify a URL for a proxy auto-config (PAC) file. If you enable this policy, you can specify a URL for a PAC file to automate how Microsoft Edge Update selects the appropriate proxy server for fetching a particular website. This policy is applied only if you have specified manual proxy settings in the 'Choose how to specify a proxy server settings' policy. Don't configure this policy if you have selected a proxy setting other than manual in the 'Choose how to specify a proxy server settings' policy. Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.145.1 and later Beta General policies for Microsoft Edge Update. Specfies policies for the WebView2 Runtime.

Don't configure this policy if you have selected a proxy setting other than manual in the 'Choose how to specify a proxy server settings' policy. Lets you specify whether the WebView2 Runtime can be installed using Microsoft Edge Update. If you enable this policy, users can install the WebView2 Runtime through Microsoft Edge Update. If you disable this policy (or set it to 'Installs disabled'), users cannot install the WebView2 Runtime through Microsoft Edge Update. If you set this policy to Always allow Machine-Wide Installs but not Per-User Installs, the WebView2 Runtime will only be deployed machine-wide. If you set the policy to Force Installs (Machine-Wide), users can install the WebView2 Runtime to all machines where Microsoft Edge Update is pre-installed. Requires Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.155.43 or higher. If you don't configure this policy, the 'Allow installation default' policy configuration determines whether users can install the WebView2 Runtime through Microsoft Edge Update. You can specify the default behavior of all channels to allow or block Microsoft Edge on domain-joined devices. You can override this policy for individual channels by enabling the 'Allow installation' policy for specific channels. If you disable 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 doesn't prevent Microsoft Edge Update from running or prevent users from installing Microsoft Edge software using other methods. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain. Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.155.1 and later Stable Microsoft Update policy override default Allows you to specify the proxy server settings that are used by Microsoft Edge Update. If you enable this policy, you can choose between the following proxy server options: - If you choose to never use a proxy server and always connect directly, all other options are ignored. - If you choose to use system proxy settings or auto-detect the proxy server, all other options are ignored. - If you choose fixed server proxy mode, you can specify further options in 'Address or URL of a proxy server' policy. - If you choose to use a .pac proxy script, you must specify the URL for the script in 'URL to proxy .pac file' policy. If you enable this policy, users in your organization can't change the proxy settings in Microsoft Edge Update. If you disable or don't configure this policy, no proxy server settings are configured, but users in your organization can choose their own proxy settings for Microsoft Edge Update. Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.26.0 and later Remove Desktop Shortcuts upon update Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.147.1 and later Updates disabled Rollback to Target version Policies to control the installation and updating of Microsoft Edge using Microsoft Edge Update.

If you set this policy to "Force delete system-level Desktop Shortcuts", any existing system-level Microsoft Edge desktop shortcuts will be deleted when the browser updates or the machine reboots. If you set this policy to "Force delete system-level and user-level Desktop Shortcuts", any existing system-level Microsoft Edge desktop shortcuts will be deleted when the browser updates or the machine reboots and any existing user-level desktop shortcuts will be deleted when the browser updates. This includes user-level desktop shortcuts that users might have made themselves. If you don't configure this policy, nothing will happen to existing Microsoft Edge desktop shortcuts. If you enable this policy, update checks are suppressed each day starting at Hour:Minute for a period of Duration (in minutes). Duration isn't affected by daylight saving time. For example, if the start time is 22:00 and the duration is 480 minutes, updates will be suppressed for exactly 8 hours, regardless of whether daylight saving time starts or ends during this period. If you disable or don't configure this policy, update checks aren't suppressed during any specific period.

This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain. When this policy is enabled, and auto-update is enabled, Microsoft Edge will be updated to the version specified by this policy value. The policy value must be a specific Microsoft Edge version, e.g. 83.0.499.12. If a device has newer version of Microsoft Edge than the value specified, Microsoft Edge will remain on the newer version and not downgrade to the specified version. If the specified version does not exist, or is improperly formatted, then Microsoft Edge will remain on its current version and not update to future versions automatically. See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2136707 for more information. This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain. Specifies that Microsoft Edge Update should rollback installations of Microsoft Edge to the version indicated in 'Target version override'. This policy has no effect unless 'Target version override' is set and 'Update policy override' is set to one of the ON states (Always allow updates, Automatic silent updates only, Manual updates only). If you disable this policy or don't configure it, installs that have a version higher than that specified by 'Target version override' will be left as-is. If you enable this policy, installs that have a current version higher than specified by the 'Target version override' will be downgraded to the target version. We recommend that users install the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser to ensure protection by the latest security updates. Rollback to an earlier version risks exposure to known security issues. This policy is meant to be used as a temporary fix to address issues in a Microsoft Edge browser update. Before temporarily rolling back your browser version, we recommend that you turn on Sync (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2133032) for all users in your organization. If you don't turn on Sync, there is a risk of permanent browsing data loss. Use this policy at your own risk. Note: All versions available for rollback can be viewed here https://aka.ms/EdgeEnterprise. This policy applies to Microsoft Edge version 86 or later.
