Smartscreen not working / delay in downloading files
Hi, Not sure if this belongs in the Enterprise section but here goes; we're currently implementing Edge as our new default browser (large healthcare organization) in our VDI environment. Besides ...

bhkumar007 this is Windows 7 Enterprise 6.1.7601 SP1, x64. Running on an Intel Xeon CPU E5-2680 v2 with 5GB's of RAM with Dutch language settings.
I've noticed that when I install the Beta build (or Dev) next to the stable 81.x version, SmartScreen does work in that browser. But we've reinstalled this 81.x a few times now but no changes in behaviour. The difference being that the 81.x is installed during our automatic process with ConfigMgr's Task Sequences to build the new VDI images and the Beta/Dev build is installed manually in this case.

marceldk from what you are saying it looks more that the user context or installer media from where the install is done during the TS is of influence or the install media.
Are you using the MSI during the TS I presume? What are you using when installing manually? MSI or C2R?
Why not deploy Edge after the TS from SCCM, just select stable channel?

marceldk welcome, the actual help done with Microsoft Edge engineering teams.
When you run into such incidents make sure share feedback through feedback option in Microsoft Edge.

Henno_Keers thanks, guess it's a small world after all 😉
Regarding the issue; I've successfully deployed a new non-persistent VDI image with Edge 83.x and Smartscreen is working in that image. Not sure what's wrong with 81.x on that platform but upgrading to the newer release will happen sooner then later anyway.
Thanks for all the help bhkumar007, Reza_Ameri-Archived and Henno_Keers.

marceldk Succes with the rollout! Greetings to Ronald van der Plas.
- marceldkJun 04, 2020Copper ContributorWe're about to start a company wide rollout and did all our testing with 81.x. We planned on upgrading to the newest version very soon after the rollout. I agree that there is no point in figuring this out now, since it seems to work with 83.x and higher.

marceldk we are already on 83 so I could not reproduce your issue, I saw the posting just to late.
But what is the point in looking back if 83 works? 81 is history.
- marceldkJun 04, 2020Copper ContributorI ran the TS with no Edge installer so I could install Edge manually; looks like we have an issue with all the 81.x builds available for download. Non of these trigger the smartscreen warnings on demo.smartscreen.msft.net.
After installing the 83.x builds, smartscreen is triggered! Now I'm starting to doubt my first post because I did install newer versions but .. maybe just 81.x builds? Not sure anymore. This 83.x MSI install does match my findings with the Dev/Beta builds with C2R; these are ofcourse > 81.x. - Henno_KeersJun 04, 2020Steel Contributor
marceldk The white elephant in the room is the "IS Not" object. The object that should / could have the deviation, but does not have it.
That platform /object is different to the platform / object that has the deviation. What are de differences?
IS: VDI platform
IS Not: physical machines

Henno_Keers yes, I'm using the MSI to install Edge during TS and I've used the C2R with Beta/Dev. I *think* I've also used the MSI to install Beta/Dev next to Stable but I'm going to try that again.
The reason why we're installing the MSI during the TS is because of the automated image creation; after the TS is ready, the image is captured and used for our VDI platform. One of the final steps is removing the configmgr agent (no use for that in a non-persistant environment) so pushing software after the TS is not an option. For the sake of troubleshooting I can manually install Edge after TS and then capture this image, to see if smartscreen is still broken.
