Users not allowed to change Recommenced Policy

I set the NewTabPageLocation as a recommended setting using the following registry key:

 

SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended

 

When the users try to go in to change the New Tab Page, the "Customize" button is grayed out. I tried setting the key in the LOCALMACHINE area as well as the CURRENTUSER area, both have the same symptom. Am I missing something?

    Pinging in on this. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there another place I should post this for the Edge team to see?

      We have the same issue, did you receive any reply?  Would really like this one to work to roll it out.  Thanks

        Nope. I never found a solution to this. I ended up just customizing the home page setting instead.

      I also have this issue in all versions I've tested, using recommended reg keys and recommended group policy. I submitted feedback through the browser itself, but have not gotten a response. I'm glad I saw this thread because I was thinking about posting this myself. 

       

      I've tried setting all of the other policies related to home page and new tab page to Recommended as well in case there is a dependency that is not documented, but this didn't change anything.

        Is this on the team's radar? I have not received a response to the feedback I submitted and there is no official response here. I tested this again today in Canary Version 84.0.516.0 and the behavior is the same.
