Disable Infobar: Set Microsoft Edge as the default application for reading PDF files
Gunnar-Haslinger Hi! Just wanted to pass along one workaround to remove the infobar. I've heard that other organizations have enable the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally policy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#alwaysopenpdfexternally).
The team is still discussing an enterprise policy to specifically disable the infobar and will keep you updated about that. Thanks!

Hi Gunnar,
We are looking to achieve the same experience as you have mentioned. Can I ask where you observed the following please:
It seems this Functionality is configured with "default_pdf_handler_infobar_last_declined": "0" => after clicking "X" it is filled with an timestamp like "13265308169998304" and this Info-Bar disappears.
Thanks
Rob
Hi robzlr,
I'm not sure what exactly you like to know.
Are you asking about where to find the default_pdf_handler_infobar_last_declined preference?
Viewing all Preferences: edge://prefs-internals/%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\Preferences (json-File)

- Just want to follow up as other poster, this is not desired configuration for us. We have a scenario where all browser information is cleared and this always pops up every time.
