Prevent First Time Run screen on Edge Beta
Hello all! I'm working on a project where we are transitioning from Internet Explorer into Microsoft Edge. We've been specifically waiting for the Microsoft Edge Chromium build to be released. Si...
This is now in their latest build.
Any update on this? If we manually capture the "First Run" 0K file in the profile it will skip first run... not a very nice solution though.
We've tried putting First Run file (0K) from a working user in to the %localAppdata%\Microsoft\Edge Beta\User Data folder but this did not appear to work for us.

So far we can prevent Edge from running the first run wizard but not get it to sign in (for syncing) as well.
Include these files in "%localAppdata%\Microsoft\Edge Beta\"
User data\First Run
User data\Local State
User data\Default\Preferences *
for this to work with a new user Preferences file needs editing to remove values referencing user/account_id
Down side of this (so far) is that is wont automatically sign in to the work Profile and it wont Import data (as this is a 'on first run' setting)
