Disable Infobar: Set Microsoft Edge as the default application for reading PDF files
Gunnar-Haslinger Hi! Just wanted to pass along one workaround to remove the infobar. I've heard that other organizations have enable the AlwaysOpenPdfExternally policy (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#alwaysopenpdfexternally).
The team is still discussing an enterprise policy to specifically disable the infobar and will keep you updated about that. Thanks!

MicrosoftAmarjeet5 Thanks for reaching out! We have not received any update from the PDF team yet but I have passed along your feedback.

So the actual behavior is fine, the prompt is not needed especially if we are using Group Policy to manage the .PDF extension in this scenario.

Gunnar-Haslinger Amarjeet5 esirvys robzlr Hi Everyone! In MS Edge V93 there is a new policy to control the PDF message.
Here is a link to the documentation for the ShowPDFDefaultRecommendationsEnabled policy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#showpdfdefaultrecommendationsenabled
Please take a look. Thanks!

- Thanks Kelly_Y great! I already tested with 93-Beta, looking forward to deploy 93 Stable which is announced for first week in September.
- Enterprise MSI Package of Edge 93 (Stable) is available now. Already Test-deployed: I can confirm the Infobar can now be successfully disabled. Thanks Kelly_Y and Team!
