Want To Remove "Can't Update Microsoft Edge" Notification
AaronM1285 What you have done is not expected (and supported) by Edge. Try using the policies (Requires Windows Professional or above to use Group Policy Editor) :
How to disable edge auto upgrade? - Microsoft Tech Community
Here is a good tutorial about installing and setting the Edge policies: https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/edge-chromium-admx-group-policy-templates/
Note: When downloading, scroll down a bit and click the latest build's policy link:

You can also download the offline version of installers here if you need to update Edge manually.
KenChong, thanks for the reply.
After reading through the linked question I am now not sure if the updater is what is causing that pop up notification, as it said it will check for updates every 10 hours.
This pop up notification is appearing on the screen within 20-30 minutes of rebooting the PC.
Is there some blanket method I can implement to stop any of these Edge notifications showing up over the display?
AaronM1285 If you still have the update components removed manually I would recommend reinstalling Edge to restore it first.
I never tested before, but I think Edge would not display a message if you have no internet and it cannot contact the update servers. The update policies are for the (internet-connected) PCs which the admin wants to control the update, like using centralized software patching systems.
- This PC was last connected to the internet over a year ago to install Edge initially. Since then, it has been on a hard-wired ethernet connection to an offline server without access to the internet.
Are you recommending I still update Edge?
I really just want to display a homepage without any interruptions or popups, is there anyway to go about doing that without a re-install?
