Site as Application
Is there currently a GPO or Registry setting to remove the "This site can be installed as an application" option? Additionally, does anyone have a list of working registry settings for Microsoft Edge? My goal is to lock down the browser so users cannot make any changes while applying specific settings via GPO or registry.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Danny0132 - In Edge 145, a new policy was introduced that controls whether users can install web apps. Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation WebAppInstallByUserEnabled | Microsoft Learn
Thanks for your feedback!

Danny0132 Hello - Currently, I do not think there is a policy to remove that option. I see we have an open work item to create a group policy to disable the ability to install sites and PWAs but there is no ETA. I've passed on your request to the team. You can also submit feature requests through the browser. ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback). Thanks!

- Thank you for submitting the request to the development team. There are organizations that necessitate a complete lockdown of web browsers, with options controlled through GPOs or registry entries. I hope that in future updates, they will incorporate these corporate requirements with GPOs.
