Edge Stable ignores parameter DONOTCREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUT=true during installation
This parameter was introduced with version 81.0.416.53. But now with version 84.0.522.52 an icon will be placed at the public desktop even with the parameter. Microsoft, any idea why this happens?
The GPO did not work.
But I was able to remove the shortcut in the public desktop (c:\users\public\desktop) directory after mounting the WIM File.
After the logon there is no desktop shortcut anymore.

Hello!
Thanks for your reply!
I found out the parameter is working correctly when installing Edge (86).
We are testing already the new Windows 10 20h2 version and I could see, the Edge (84) is already integrated.
So I will try to work with the GPO to prevent the desktop shortcut at the first logon.
Because you mentioned this does not work if Edge is already installed I am a little bit of nervous.
I will let you know the results.
Sorry for the misleading informations!
