Hello
Is it possible to remove this red dot on the account icon ?
I don't use an MS or other account, but I would like to remove this red dot which must signal a new option, I guess
Thanks

@tistou Hi,
Just click on the profile icon, a notification will open and the red dot will disappear :)
You just don't have MS account sync enabled.

it looks like it's a way to remind the user to sync their MS account, of course this is not the case when syncing is enabled.
Best regards.

Yep. The red dot appears although having policies SyncDisabled:true and BrowserSignin:disabled. It should not be displayed in such situation, I guess.
I'm using command-line option --disable-features=msShowSignInIndicator for now.

I managed to remove this red dot from the profile picture by adding an edge policy.
This policy stops Microsoft from testing new features in Edge:
Reg.exe add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
This worked for me!

Command Prompt as Administrator then add the registry key.
I suppose you also did also the restart after applying this registry key ?
Strange as I have got it working on 3 systems already, but I am using Win10Pro / Win11Pro.
I haven't tested on Windows 10/11 Home.

I just logged out/logged in but not restarted, I'm trying
And add the registry key manually in the registry
EDIT : rebooted but still not working (last Canary version)
