Edge Beta 147.0.3912.26: This policy is blocked, its value will be ignored.

Starting with Edge Beta 147.0.3912.26 as well as Edge Dev 148.0.3928.0 I'm facing the problem, that the so called "sensitive policies" (which need an MDM or AD-Joined Device) are blocked.

Error-Message in edge://policy/ shows up with: This policy is blocked, its value will be ignored.

 

Using Edge Stable 146.0.3856.84 works fine (on the same machine).

 

Issue is only related to the so called "sensitive policies" and ist clearly new with Edge Beta 147.0.3912.26 as well as Edge Dev 148.0.3928.0 ... I didn't change anything except updating Edge Beta and Edge Dev ... and as I said: Edge Stable still works fine on the same machine.

 

The Release Notes https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-relnote-beta-channel don't show any new changes regarding those "sensitive Policies". 

So what happened? Did Microsoft break the Policies with those new Versions?

    I did some more investigation and now I'm even more confused.

    I re-checked the situation on another physical machine and the policies with  Edge Beta 147.0.3912.26 as well as Edge Dev 148.0.3928.0 are working fine. No idea what is different there. Same Patchlevel.

    Then I re-checked on another Hyper-V VM and this machine has the issue too.

    So I now have two different Hyper-V VMs on two different Hosts which have the Issue "This policy is blocked, its value will be ignored".

    Both VMs as well as the working physical Machines fully patched Win11 v25H2, one is "Enterprise" and one is "Education" but both SKUs are capable of being configured by those policies.

    And on both VMs: Policies work fine with Edge Stable 146.0.3856.84, issue only occurs with Beta and Dev.

    ... so no Idea if this is only an issue on Hyper-V VMs ... because besides the fact that those two machines are Hyper-V VMs there is no significant difference to the other Machine still working fine.

     

    Of course I checked, if Edge Beta and Dev correctly shows, that they are "managed": Yes, they are. "Microsoft Edge is managed by your organization"
