Hello KarthickJokirathinam
To automatically handle Edge updates, configure it via Intune:
Go to Microsoft Intune Admin Center > Devices > Configuration profiles > Create profile
Choose: Platform: Windows 10 and later and Profile type: Settings catalog
Search for "Edge Update"
Main Settings:
Update policy override: Always allow updates (recommended)
Target channel override: Stable
Auto-update check period override: 720 minutes (change it as per your requirement)
Optional (for control):
Update deadline: 2 days (change it as per your requirement)
Allow updates during active hours: Disabled (to avoid disruption)
Restart notifications: EnabledAlso, check Windows Autopatch which automatically handles the update rings for Microsoft Edge as well.

Thanks.
dont forget to manage webview2 updates also...
Can you provide more details on this..why we need to manage webview2 update as well
Because WebView2 shares the same Chromium engine as Edge, so any security vulnerability in Edge exists in WebView2 as well. Outlook and Teams both run on top of it an outdated WebView2 means those apps are running on an unpatched engine, even if your Edge browser is fully up to date.
You can manage edge updates as device policy through settings catalog or use edge management in Azure to enable cloud updates. #notanaigeneratedresponse
I think the easiest way will be to deploy Edge as an app through Intune and set it to Stable channel, that way it handles its own updates without you touching it every month.
Go to Intune Admin Center - Apps - Add - search Microsoft Edge - pick Stable channel then assign to your device groups. Done. It’ll update itself.
If you want more control over when updates happen, go into Configuration Profiles → Settings Catalog and search for Microsoft Edge Update. You’ll find an Update Policy Override setting there where you can dial in exactly how you want the update to be.
One thing to double check is to make sure nothing in your environment is blocking the Microsoft Edge Update service, otherwise it’ll look like it’s configured correctly but updates won’t actually happen.
Is there any specific part of the setup you’re stuck on?
We have deployed Edge app via Intune to all devices.Without configuration policy, will edge update automatically by itself. Where to find this auto update settings.
