Chrome extension managed storage policy
Hi there, I've developed a chrome extension and now we want to deploy it using Intune. Force install of extension works great but I can't pass managed data to the extension. Here is the scheme: { "type": "object", "properties": { "apiKey": { "title": "API Key", "description": "An API key to communicate with server.", "type": "string" } } } This is the policy that I created in Intune: OMA-URI: ./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Chrome~Policy~googlechrome~3rdparty~extensions~eagefwefpbjpewefliifpgfgoewfknnmk~policy Data type: String Value: {"apiKey":"mykey123"} But it doesn't appear in chrome://policy and when I get policies in my code with: const result = await chrome.storage.managed.get(null); The result is empty! What is the problem here? And how to fix it?
Edge Dev > Enterprise State Roaming / Sync Broke
I noted in Edge DEV my profile stopped syncing even though its set by policy to be on the journey took me to edge://settings/profiles/sync where turn on sync is presented - so i turn it on a confirm and cancel button appear as well as the expected other areas (but showing as off by policy???) hitting confirm just makes confirm and cancel disappear with no changes these are not new? what gives or is changing? is sync just broke in dev for now? Edge Beta and Stable are not impacted.
Starting Edge as a process immediately fires exited event
Hi! Recently I have encountered a rather annoying bug on Windows 11 IoT LTSC where I launch an edge as a process from my .net 9.0 C# code. I need to track Edge and if it exits for some reason I have to relaunch it. I'm tracking whether it has exited by subscribing to the Process.Exited event, but on the beforementioned operating system this event immediately fires even though the Edge itself visibly does not close and stays functional without any problem. This results in infinite edge processes getting launched, since every new instance also exits. Interestingly this issue does not occur when tested with other browsers nor it occurs on Windows 11 Pro, everything works completely fine in these two scenarios. I'm guessing IoT version has some kind of different power plan to reduce battery drainage and CPU usage if possible. My other assumption is that the msedge.exe available with default windows is just a parent process on the IoT version, and it just starts the actual processes needed to present the content of my web app. It'd be great if you could check this and come back to me. Thank you! Kind regards, Gallusz.Manifest V2/V3 timeline update?
Google/Chromium announced at the end of March that MV2 would be completely removed from Chrome in v139, meaning that v138 will be the last version that can run MV2 extensions even using the policy override. Since v139 is expected sometime in July, that time is coming up fast! In Microsoft's timeline, it is stated: Manifest V2 extensions will continue to be supported through Enterprise policies at least until the date in the Chromium Manifest V2 support timeline. Since Google will be removing it as of v139, can we expect the same for Edge? Just trying to plan out notification to some groups who use custom extensions (ie: from vendors or internally created) that they will see the older extensions be removed/disabled. Thank you!
Edge Update Service Error
Hello, Our organization recently set a target version in Intune to update Edge 132.0.2957.115 to 134.0.3124.51, and we noticed that around 80% of our clients failed to install this update. In the Microsoft Edge Update Service log, it appears that our devices were failing the hardware compatibility check: None of these devices are more than 5 years old, so I assume there is a bug with this check in the service. We were able to work around this issue by deploying the MSI, which installed without any error. Hope this helps someone! Andrew
Direct download link for Edge Policy Templates
Would it be possible to get a (semi) permanent/fixed URL link for the Microsoft Edge Policy Templates for Microsoft Windows (preferably 64-bit)? There are already "fwlink" direct download links for the latest releases of Microsoft Edge MSI x86/X64, e.g. http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2093437 for MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi Could we please get one for the MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.cab? Currently, we have to go to the Microsoft Edge Enterprise landing page https://aka.ms/EdgeEnterprise and click through the link and agree to the download. A "fwlink" would enable direct download via PowerShell script, or just a single manual click. Thanks, JonathanUpdate to the latest version of Edge to continue using Copilot
Hello, My organization has about 130 Copilot licenses. We use a controlled rollout for Edge updates to validate compatibility with in-house applications. We are currently on Edge 132.0.2957.115 for our main update ring. My Copilot users are reporting the following message in Edge today when they try to open the Copilot sidebar: Is there documentation somewhere indicating what version of Edge is required to use Copilot? We can't turn on automatic updates, and I'm sure other orgs that have purchased Copilot licenses are in the same boat. Copilot seems to load fine on the M365/Webview2/UWP version. Thanks! AndrewBest method for configuring EDGE in Enterprise
Hi, we are a large company almost 10.000 devices. Edge is now configured via group policy, but many legacy settings so cleanup and re-engineering is needed. In that context, we also want to switch to a modern configuration method for EDGE. 'Edge Management Service' is modern/cloud way to configure but lacks reporting and diag tools, while Intune Settings Catalog has reporting but may lack settings for CoPilot and other new features. In a hybrid joined or Entra-ID joined scenario, what is the Best Practice for configuring Microsoft Edge taking into account control, reporting and diagnostics ?Machine learning powered autofill suggestions
Hello, It looks like a new Machine Learning autofill feature was rolled out with Edge 132 and enabled by default. There is a bug with this setting where even if you have the parent "Save and fill basic info" setting disabled, the Machine Learning suggestions still appear even though the setting is grayed out. This leads to a confusing user experience, because folks that work in enterprise forms with PII try to disable their autofill, only for the feature to remain active. The workaround to disable this feature is to re-enable Autofill, turn of ML suggestions, then disable Autofill again. It looks like there is an enterprise policy to control this setting rolled out on January 17 with Edge 132.0.2957.115. However, I do not see this setting in Intune's Settings Catalog. We are trying to manage in the cloud and avoid creating any more group policies. Is anyone aware of an ETA for this to be added to Settings Catalog? I'd prefer not to set up a Remediation or ADMX CP only for the setting to become available shortly thereafter. Thanks! Andrew
