WebAppInstallForceList GPO

Question

Using the&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/DeployEdge/microsoft-edge-policies#webappinstallforcelist&nbsp;GPO and after the last update its not adding the shortcuts to the start menu anymore even after launching EDGE..&nbsp; Also, the icon is not coming in, but if I do it manually with the same web address the icon comes in that has been happening for over a month now.&nbsp; I also noticed I don't see webapp under Apps and Features since this last update.

nb4real&nbsp;Hi - Can you share what version of Microsoft Edge this issue reproduces?&nbsp; Also, if there is no PII can you send a screenshot of the edge://policy/ page, specifically the portion with the&nbsp;WebAppInstallForceList&nbsp;policy.&nbsp; Thanks!&nbsp;

nb4real&nbsp;Hello - We had a new Stable 127 released yesterday.&nbsp; Our developer just tested using Version 127.0.2651.86 and was not able to reproduce the issue.&nbsp; &nbsp;He&nbsp;was able to add a policy to install Facebook, which succeeded and added entry to the Start menu.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
For them to investigate further, can you share the data from&nbsp;edge://web-app-internals&nbsp;(you can direct message me the file) or look for similar entry like this and send that information?&nbsp; Thanks!
