Thilo Langbein I've got 80.0.361.50 and the new admx installed: "add profile" is gone. "delete" (which also creates a new profile) is still there. So my problem is fixed (yay!) but not all of yours.

Yes, I want to have "Delete profile" also gone.
Thilo Langbeinand abadiya , can this setting help you?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#nonremovableprofileenabled
This creates a non removable profile with the work- or schoolaccount….

Thilo Langbein Re: BrowserAddProfileEnabled
I'm experiencing the same issue. Any news on whether that will be fixed?
- Thilo LangbeinIron ContributorBeta Channel is already fixed.

Possibility to delete (create new) Profile is also a problem for us. Because then there is the a new path under %LOCALAPPDATA%.

Thilo Langbein Having the same issues, did you make any progress on this?
Also policy "Block access to a list of URLs" doesn't work with edge://settings/profiles
I use a similar policy in chrome and it functions correctly.
- FreekBloemhofBrass ContributorDiscovered the same issue here.

Totally agree. And the documentation even states:
Allows users to create new profiles, using the Add profile option. If you enable this policy or don't configure it, Microsoft Edge allows users to use Add profile on the Identity flyout menu or the Settings page to create new profiles.
If you disable this policy, users cannot add new profiles from the Identity flyout menu or the Settings page.
Yet the settings page still allows the creation of new profiles.
