    Hello, wjc_py 

     


    Yes there is, with the policy file you can configure it.
    first you need to download the policy files from here:

    https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/enterprise

     

    And then use this Policy:


    AutoUpdateCheckPeriodMinutes


    Auto-update check period override
    Microsoft Edge Update 1.2.145.5 and later


    Description
    If enabled, this policy lets you set a value for the minimum number of minutes between automatic update checks. Otherwise, by default, auto-update checks for updates every 10 hours.

    If you want to disable all auto-update checks, set the value to 0 (not recommended).
