This tutorial will show you how to reload all policies applied to Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
You can apply policies to Microsoft Edge to configure how Microsoft Edge runs and updated.
You can close and reopen Microsoft Edge to apply policies configured while Microsoft Edge is open.
You can also Reload Policies in Microsoft Edge to apply and refresh all applied policies instead of closing and reopening Microsoft Edge. This can also be handy if a configured policy didn't get applied to Microsoft Edge for some reason. It will force an update/reload/refresh of the policies.
