Machine learning powered autofill suggestions

Hello, It looks like a new Machine Learning autofill feature was rolled out with Edge 132 and enabled by default.  There is a bug with this setting where even if you have the parent "Save and f...

Appreciate the updates - 

Unfortunately, it does not appear that this policy has made it into Settings Catalog yet. However, it looks like the other policies released with the 132.0.2957.115 update are present.

    Hi AndrewSAIF - Thanks for following up!  You are right, there was a delay and it looks like it will be included with the April Intune update.  Appreciate your patience for this one!

      Thanks Kelly. I have a question - how does Microsoft intend folks to manage Edge? For certain things (like Copilot recently) it seems like they assume folks have auto-update turned on. Yet in Intune, the management policies that are released with new browser versions don't appear in Settings Catalog for weeks or months. 

      Does Microsoft assume folks will have parallel group policy and Intune policy? Or parallel configuration profiles with Settings Catalog and OMA settings? Settings Catalog and Remediation? It seems like no matter how you do it, if you want to use Settings Catalog, you have to have another deployment method for new policies if you want to keep up with browser updates. And I'd assume most folks want to use Settings Catalog, because it is easier than the other methods. 

      Is the assumption that everyone is using the Microsoft Edge Management Service rather than Intune? It looks like both this policy and the ScarewareBlockerProtectionEnabled policy I'm waiting to deploy are available there. If that's what MS wants folks to use, that's fine I guess, but I'm sure I'm not the only org that built all of their Edge CPs in Intune before this was even available. I really don't want to migrate everything, and even if I did, I'd have parallel management services (Intune, Admin Center) rather than parallel configuration profiles. If I'm managing the rest of my Windows environment (including other browsers) in Intune, it seems silly to have a separate tool just for Edge. 

      Sorry if this comes off as a rant, but I am genuinely curious whether my use case has been thought out and I'm just missing it. 

      Thanks!

        Just an update on this thread - the Machine Learning Powered AutoFill Suggestions policy that was released in January, and the Edge Scareware Blocker policy released March 6 are still not available in Settings catalog as of the end of April. 
        I've decided to run a parallel CP with the imported Edge ADMX to set the settings. I'll check into Settings Catalog whenever I need to update this ADMX and transfer any settings to our regular CP as they become available. This seems like the best option with the least amount of rework if I want to avoid migrating everything to the Edge Management Service. 

        I understand resources are not unlimited at MS, so I apologize if this feedback is redundant with internal concerns - but I just want to impress on whoever will listen that folks want to use Intune/Settings Catalog to manage this browser. It would be easier and better than group policy if I could rely on it to contain current policies. Updating my on-prem ADMX should not be faster and more reliable than your 1st party cloud service. 

        Thanks for listening!

        Andrew
