Edge v78 asks User on first start which New-Tab Design to choose, how Preconfigure/Disable this?
As there is no Solution provided by Microsoft, I created a Script (as a workaround). I published it here: https://github.com/gunnarhaslinger/Microsoft-Edge-based-on-Chromium-Scripts
Gunnar-Haslinger I'm running into this as well. Can anyone tell us how to disable this pop-up for all users??? This is really hurting us right now...
I figured out how this "First Run Experience" ist triggered.
In the Edge UserProfile there is a file "Local state" which is as JSON formatted Settings-File.
The setting "has_user_seen_fre" has to be true, if not existent or false the First Run Experience is shown.
To prevent the First-Run-Experience I create an empty Edge-Userprofile just Containing a almost empty "Local state" file, just having this one setting in it. This solution is ugly but works.
Please provide a Policy to disable this "First Run Experience" Wizzard if needed! For regular Users this First Run Experience makes (maybe) sense, but not for a system where the Profile gets cleaned up after each user-change regularly etc...

- I too would like a policy to disable this.
