[Fixed] Edge Canary Shows "Downloads are managed by your organization"
UPDATE 2 (July 17, 2019): This bug has been fixed in Canary version 77.0.221.0.
UPDATE 1: As it appears, this bug is caused when you click on the toggle "Ask where to save each file before downloading".
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using Edge Canary version 77.0.201.0 on Windows 10 v.1903 (OS Build 18362.175) and have been noticing that in the Downloads page, it shows a banner on top: "Downloads are managed by your organization" even though I use a personal Microsoft account only (someone@outlook.com). Also, I don't have any organisational account added to Windows either.
Here's what it looks like:
However, elsewhere, it doesn't show anything related to organisation, like how https://www.howtogeek.com/410106/why-does-chrome-say-its-managed-by-your-organization/ describes the same for Google Chrome.
Moreover, when I visit edge://policy, it says "No policies set":

Deleted as an update, we have been able to reproduce this problem. We believe that when users enable "Ask where to save each file before downloading", the banner will show. This is a bug and the development team has been notified of this. A temporary workaround will be to disable this option if the banner is disruptive to you.
i-am-kent I want to update you that this bug still exists as of Edge (Canary) version 77.0.218.0.
Deleted this bug should now be fixed in latest Canary. If you still see this after installing latest Canary (77.0.221.0), please feel free to let us know!
Thanks for your patience here!
i-am-kent You're actually right—after the re-installation, I didn't turn on the option "Ask where to save each file before downloading", that is why I was not seeing it. But, after I toggled it, the banner got back again. Thanks a lot again for acknowledging the report!

If you close your Downloads tab, open a new tab, and navigate to about:downloads, do you still see that banner on top?
Did you at some point have any policies set through Windows' Local Group Policy Editor?
Thanks!

Yes, I still see it there. Moreover, it appears even after I restart my PC.

No, I haven't set any policies thus far.

Deleted, this certainly looks like a bug. I have contacted the owner of this area to see if they are aware of this issue, and what kind of logs they might need to investigate.
Thanks Elliot Kirk for your help! I really appreciate it.
