Edge Proxy

There is no proxy option in edge. Click proxy settings to jump directly to PC system settings. So I don't think it's useful to set up a GPO for edge Is there any other way to set proxy in edge ...

Other depreciated policies, based on their description, only apply to Edge.

command line only applies to Edge of course, there is no way to apply it to the entire OS...

you know where the command line is, right?

right-click on Edge icon on desktop and choose properties

in the target area, add the commands at the end

for example:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --proxy-server="proxy2:8080"

OK, I'll do some tests.

Now, there are only two ways to set the proxy settings that only work for edge?

1. Use the command line

2. Use Socks5

If i want to promote the command line in the organization, how to operate?

No, just command line.
use it to set http,https,socks4,socks5 etc.

use Microsoft SCCM, Intune, to distribute that Edge shortcut to your clients

or even maybe group policy

managing clients is out of the scope of this topic (because not related to Edge, but a Windows server/client topic), you need to contact your administrator or IT person, they should know how to do this.
