Enable implicit sign-in
I tried to get an automatically created work profile on my MS Edge using the 'Enable implicit sign-in' policy. I'm logged on to the PC with my work AAD account. I deleted all my profiles closed the ...
There's definitely something odd going on with this policy. When it's enabled, a user profile isn't created when a new user launches Edge for the first time. However, it seems to be created automatically the second time they launch it. That doesn't make sense, and I'm pretty sure it's not how the policy used to work.
This is causing problems for us because we make Edge browser extensions which provide web-filtering and other safeguarding functionality for schools. The extensions needs to know who the user is so that they can apply any user-specific rules. Without a user profile, that information isn't available.
In the meantime, we're able to work around the issue by forcing browser sign-in, and restricting the sign-in to a specific pattern. That seems like unnecessary extra complexity though.

With Edge for Business you can use a combination of 2 policies to achieve your Goal, "non-removableprofileenabled" along with "EdgeDefaultProfileEnabled".
Best,
LawrenceWith non-removable profiles we run into the following issue:
This seems to become a deadlock in certain situations.
