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.
If you're running Windows 10 Pro (or Enterprise) on a azure windows virtual desktop, the easiest way to prevent Edge from opening the welcome page every time you launch the web browser for the first time is using the Local Group Policy Editor.
To disable the First Run page for Microsoft Edge, do the following:
- Use the Windows key + R keyboard shortcut to open the Run command.
- Type gpedit.msc and click OK to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
-
Browse the following path:
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge
-
On the right side, double-click the Prevent the First Run webpage from opening on Microsoft Edge policy.
- Select the Enabled option.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Akshay
This will work for Legacy Edge but it doesn't appear to work for Edge Chromium. (on my machine at least)
