Microsoft Edge 90.0 confusion
Hi all, I've checked for updates today, and after having version 90.0.818.39 (Official build) (64-bit) installed, I noticed a small piece of text under the version info saying that "Update polici...
Hi,
it doesn't affect your experience and browsing at all.
that notice is not new, was in insider channels for a while. it's just an extra piece of information displayed. doesn't matter what edition of Windows you are using (Home/Pro/Enterprise etc.)
the message is clear and means exactly what it says:
"Update policies are configured but will be ignored because this device isn't domain joined."
FYI: configured Edge/update policies can be viewed here: edge://policy/
if your device is not part of a domain, or if you are using a Home edition of Windows, then like the message states, those policies will be ignored.
Thank you both for helping me understand the meaning of this new piece of information. I registered and posted on here because I couldn't find any reliable information of this specific part of the update by the time I posted.
As a web-designer with 6 years of experience, I don't find this text informative for the basic user. I would've at least put a small "Info" icon next to it, to find out that it's harmless and has no effect on my browsing or the browser itself, then move on.
This is my personal take on the matter, but I do think that most users would appreciate a more casual explanation and detail about this text, if the devs at MS Edge already decided to put it there. It doesn't take much effort to add "This does not affect your browsing, the aliens won't come, don't worry mate.".
