MicrosoftMicrosoft Edge: QuickView Feature
In Microsoft Edge v96, the QuickView feature was added and allows users to view Office files (Word, Excel and PowerPoint) on the web.
Administrators can manage it using the QuickViewOfficeFilesEnabled policy - Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Docs
(UPDATE) In Microsoft Edge Stable Channel Version 98.0.1108.50, we released an update to disable the QuickView feature for incompatible sites.

- We have this disabled by GPO. We now have a need for some devices to use the feature. However, during our testing, when we make the registry change the document is still downloading. Is there a way to change the behavior? We are setting up an AD security group to have this policy changed to enabled for select devices a long term solution but I am concerned that the added devices will not have the documents open in the browser.

LARhoades Hello - One thing to call out, this feature will only work for publicly accessible Office files on the web that aren’t on OneDrive or SharePoint. Here is a link to the policy doc: Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn
If you are still having problems with the policy, it would be best to reach out to Support
https://support.serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness. They will need to gather logs and your policy information to investigate further. Thanks!

Kelly_Y Please post a set of commands to disable this feature. I did not ask for it, I do not want it, and it makes extra work for me. Just the commands please and where to execute them. I don't want to spend the rest of my day reading through forums to discern the solution.

jhredmiles Hello - If you just want to turn the feature off, you should be able to do that in Settings.
Here is a screenshot:
Thanks!
