[solution found] Edge canary Bug, Stuck with msg: "Your browser is managed by your organization"

I had put 2 of the enterprise group policies into the C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions. those were:

msedge.admx  &   msedge.adml

msedgeupdate.admx    &   msedgeupdate.adml

after deleting all of them, Edge canary still says that "Your browser is managed by your organization". I can't update the browser, it downloads the update then i click on restart and after it restarts it stays on the old version and the restart button is still there.

there is no policy set that is related to the Edge.

    Okay found the fix myself after watching lots of Youtube vids about the same problem in google chrome. the process is basically the same, just in a different registry branch.

    so basically for some unknown reason Edge canary made this registry key automatically. I don't know why, I hope Edge team sees this and look into it.

    here's the troublesome reg key.

     

    Again I've never touched Registry before for Microsoft Edge. but to fix the problem I just deleted that reg key.

        When you apply policies through GPO, the appropriate reg keys are automatically created.  This ensures that the policies are still applied even when you are not connected to your corporate network.

         

        I agree this is not very clear, and I hope the Edge team can add an option to the Uninstaller to detect the keys and delete them if required.
