Group policy to disable the "Welcome to the new Microsoft Edge" dialog from FirstRun wizard
Any chance you could provide a group policy to hide the FirstRun Get Started dialog? In a managed environment it's largely redundant, or at least will be. Also more often then not these changes are c...
How are we looking for this with the recent release of the stable version of Edge?
According to the docs the policy is slated for a realease in version 80, stable is version 79 so we probably have to wait for the first update:
Hide the First-run experience and splash screen
Supported Versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows and Mac since version 80 or later

The current plan is to push it out in E80 stable. We are on track so far.You should be able to test it right now in Beta/Dev and Canary channels
rishavsharanDid you guys ever create a gpo setting to disable this? If so, what is the name of the setting?

rishavsharan I'd like to deploy this setting using Endpoint Manager, is there any idea on when this is being deployed? The article above seems to mention only ADMX and reg key settings.
