Hi Kelly, just wondering if there was any update on this issue yet, looks like this issue has come up in a number of different places:

Users not allowed to change Recommenced Policy - Microsoft Tech Community

GPO For Default (User Overrideable) NewTab URL is preventing users from changing - Microsoft Tech Community

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/policy-user-override-configure-the-new-tab-page/32f40692-e7d7-4571-9d68-84fdcac176ea

And probably more, I didn't look very hard.

 

I want to be able to provide my Org a default and recommended setting, but allow them to change it if their needs are different. This must be possible since all of the other "users can override" options seem to work just fine!

 

Thanks.
