Anyone now use Hero Wallpaper Variation?

This is found in MS Edge Browser pop-ups on new installs of Windows 10 22H2.

    Has anyone observed or analyzed the "Hero Wallpaper Variation" in MS Edge pop-ups after installing Windows 10 22H2? Is this a Microsoft-controlled A/B test, and can it be disabled via policy or registry edits? Looking for confirmed details on its purpose and behavior.

      Yes, the "Hero Wallpaper Variation" in Edge pop-ups appears to be part of a Microsoft A/B test; it’s controlled server-side, and as of now, there’s no official policy or registry setting to reliably disable it.

    Sometimes, Windows or Edge display promotional content, tips, or background wallpaper variations to enhance user experience or promote certain themes or features.
