Bug in Edge Policy Handling: This policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.
I can confirm the Policy Handling Bug "This policy is blocked" ... is fixed in Edge Canary 86.0.580.0
But the bug is still there in current Edge Dev 85.0.564.8 which seems to be promoted to Beta soon.
So please fix it in v85 too before it hits Beta-State.
Gunnar-Haslinger Good news: I just got confirmation from our Enterprise team that yes, the fix should be coming in the next v85 builds!

RonaldvdMeer are you aware of, that these Policies are only accepted when the Machine is MDM-Managed or AD-Joined?

Hi checked the same settings on a another device. There all the policysettings have the status ok.
Same setup of windows 10 same version edge.Only difference is that the device on which all policies are ok is a laptop. The device where some settings have failed is parallels virtual machine on my Macbook

I just checked Version 85.0.564.68 (stable), Version 86.0.622.31 (Beta), Version 87.0.654.0 (Dev) and all seems to be fine. I'm not using the policy AutoOpenFileTypes which I can see as "blocked" on your Screenshot, but I'm using "RestoreOnStartUp" with Value 4 too, and it is working as expected, no "policy is blocked" error.
As my Screenshot in the first posting of this thread shows, I'm using all Policies as "Mandatory". Your Screenshot shows, you are using "Recommended" Policies, but I just tried to switch over to "Recommended" instead of "Mandatory" policies and it still works as expected, see screenshot below:

This bug is now present in the productionversion of Edge version 85.0.564.68 (Official build) (64-bit)
I tested the same policy in the Beta, Dev an Canary. There the is even worse as more settings are blocked. The picture i have uploaded is from the productionversion.
