Red dot account icon

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 ...

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.

Wow, I am surprised that your result is negative, thanks for the feedback, I will double check.
If someone else could test this to verify this solution it would be helpfull. I am running 22H2 with latest updates. The red dot issue arrived after a recent update in the last 3 weeks.

Policy reg:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"ExperimentationAndConfigurationServiceControl"=dword:00000000
