Edge Enterprise Preview (there's only one msedge.exe now)

*Not counting EdgeCore

It's apparently been in preview for most of this year. It went into general availability last week:

Around that time it happened here, but I don't really know how. I've long been on Edge Beta, so I knew that there were always two Edges. The one that comes with Win11 (stable channel), and the Beta that I opted into years ago (this one was in an "Edge Beta" directory of its own). But that's gone now. There's just the main Edge, but it magically adopts whatever channel you're on:

"To reduce friction and bolster usage, users receive prerelease builds directly inside of their Stable Edge application. Admins can allow users to easily opt-out of the preview experience, using built-in rollback to switch between their prerelease and stable channels with ease."

-It didn't happen via the policy mentioned in the articles, since I don't have this specific branch: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate. It's also not a corp machine that takes GPO, so it would have been up to me. And the policy is only good for those on an AD domain anyway.
-If it happened via Win Insider Experimental (Dev), I don't think they've mentioned it.
-I do connect to a 365 tenant, and the article mentioned M365 Admin. That must be it! Except it's not even configured there:


My only guess is that MS is quietly migrating testers over to this, since I can't imagine that they'll maintain the old system indefinitely.

This might sound as a stupid question... but as I'm totally out of the loop on MS-browsers since IE-7... But what is the difference between normal Edge and Edge Enterprise?

I dont know I just saw the topic headline Edge Enterprise... and all i have seen on this forum is just Edge So i just wonder whats the difference is..
I am totally out of the loop on MS-Browsers.. i know wayyyyy more about win11 even i dont use it, then i know about MS-browsers after IE-7

Yes, it definitely involves Edge for Business (there's even a screenshot of it in the above Enterprise article), which is the specific mode you're put in with a business login. It has a raft of extra security features.

But they still do throw around Enterprise sometimes, though it seems to have largely given way to Edge for Business.

Thanks for the answers

I looked into it, and i mixed it up. i thought Edge Enterprise was kind of windows Enterprise LTSC.

But i did run in to Microsoft Edge channel overview and ( Extended Stable Channel ) that is more like a LTSC or in firefox language ESR.
