Hello What exactly is this option for?I am in "Admin mode" (UAC disabled), is it better to disable this option or no report ? Thanks

By option you mean the flag in Edge:flags?

It de-elevates the browser, as in reduces its permission when launched with administrator rights. because when browsers are launched with Administrator rights, they are security risks and also some functionalities of the browsers such as sign in is not available.

HotCakeX Ok thanks, the default setting must correspond to disabledNo difference between these 2 options (UAC disabled on my PCs)

Yeah probably, try running Edge as Admin and it should be de-elevated with the flag enabled

  What is your problem exactly?
  the thread is old, now you can sign in when running Edge as administrator and that flag is now removed.
