Edge prompts users that it is out of date when a target version is set in Intune
Hello,
We are using the target channel override and target version policies in Intune to control when our users receive Edge updates. Our target version is currently 128.0.2739.42.
Despite this, Edge is showing an update notification to our users. When they click on it in the menu, they get a message that says "Microsoft Edge couldn't update to the latest version, so you're missing out on new features and security fixes."
I looked through the log for Microsoft Edge Update, and at no point did it try to download and install a new Edge version. The only update it performed was for WebView2.
I found this thread:
Edge UpdatePolicy - Disable automatic updates leads to "Microsoft Edge is out of Date" - Microsoft Community Hub
However, this registry value is set to INBX (Inbox, I guess?) in our environment. I couldn't find any documentation about what this means. I tried changing this to GCEU as described in the thread, but this did not change the behavior long term. The message initially goes away after a restart, but comes back some time later.
We are intentionally controlling our update rollouts and do not want our users knowing or caring Edge is out of date. Does anyone know how to suppress these warnings? This kind of seems like a bug.
Thanks!
