This tutorial will show you how to see all policies that are 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.
Microsoft Edge policy settings are saved to these registry keys:
- Device (mandatory) = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
- Device (recommended) = HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended
- Current User (mandatory) = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
- Current User (recommended) = HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended
