Completely disable 'Apps' in Edge via group policy

Hi 

 

Is there a way to lock-down the 'apps' functionality so that users cannot add apps/pwa's, our enterprise security policy disallows any kind of user-installation of applications of any kind.

 

I already block the edge://apps url, but it doesn't prevent users choosing 'Install this site as an app' from the apps menu item.

 

Any solution needs to use group policy.

 

regards

      ThiloLangbein DeltaWasp Thanks for the feedback!  The team is investigating a policy for this.  Currently no ETA but we can follow up once there are any updates.

    This has become a priority for us recently also, being able to control this in policy is fairly critical.

    Kelly_Y This is becoming a issue in our environment as well. We need an option to lock-down the Apps function please!

      artroy DeltaWasp Bobby_Tables ThiloLangbein Hi Everyone!  I do not have any updates from the team at this time but I wanted to mention that you can also submit Feature Requests through the browser ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback) which can help the team prioritize.  Thanks!

        In a enterprise with responsible administrators "menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback" is of course not avaliable 😛

    Does anyone know if this feature (Disable 'Apps' from Edge) is available now? Or is there any way to control this from GPO?

    Please can you provide the ability to block this where required.
