Bug: Edge Beta 101 on Start: This policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.
This Bug affects only Edge Beta 101.0.1210.10 as well as current Edge Dev and Canary.
Current Stable Edge 100.0.1185.36 ist NOT affected and works fine!
All Policies which are documented as "This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro, or Enterprise instances enrolled for device management." do not work on Edge Beta 101 and above. All other Policies still work as expected, but Policies like HomepageLocation, DefaultSearchProvider, RestoreOnStartUpURLs etc... which need an MDM-Enrolled or AD-Joined Device don't work.
Edge Beta 101 shows on Browser-Start: ErrorThis policy is blocked - its value will be ignored.
When Pressing the "Reload Policies" Button after some seconds AFTER Browser-Start the MDM-Management seems to get detected correct, and after pressing "Reload Policies" those show up correct and work:
But: This problem comes again every Edge Browser start!
The "sensitive" Policies which need MDM-Management show up with Error. After manually reloading them by pressing the button they start working until the next Edge Browser restart.
This Bug is new in Edge Beta 101, on the same devices everything works fine with current stable Edge 100. It is not OS-Related, I tried it on different Windows 10 v21H2 Professional as well as Windows 10 v1909 Education Machines - they behave the same. It is just Edge v101 related.
So may I ask you Kelly_Y , mkruger ... to please forward this to the right team so that it can get fixed before Edge 101 becomes stable!
