Re: Unknown app preventing restart
chaircityjohn chaircityjohn wrote: HotCakeX Well, my PC was acting wonky after I tried to shut it down and saw that cptmsg was preventing the shut down. I restarted it and was having trouble with both Firefox and Chrome. So I researched and found this thread. Almost gave up until I read your reply about the kill switch on my VPN. I have just changed my VPN and didn't realize the kill switch activated when I paused the VPN. Problem solved. Thank you! My pleasure, i'm glad i could help ^^Re: Option to block adding exclusions by (local) administrator on (managed) endpoint
Local "Administrator", emphasis on the word "Administrator". There shouldn't be a local administrator on managed endpoints. They must be managed via EntraID and no local Admin account should be present. Administrators have the power to control the security of a device and can disable security features at their discretion. Please see this article for more info Microsoft Security Servicing Criteria for Windows https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/windows-security-servicing-criteriaThere needs to be a policy to enable Edge Secure Network
As soon a single policy is set for Microsoft Edge, either through group policy or registry, the Edge Secure Network becomes unavailable. There needs to be a policy to enable it again. Using a registry key or local policy to control Edge doesn't mean it's controlled by an organization or personal Microsoft accounts are not used.Re: Pages of Bing.com automatically jumping to the top of page
noiwillnot 1. If you are using an adblocker extension, turn it off for Bing.com 2. Clear all browser data, not just cache 3. Turn off all of the browser extensions also maybe record a short video to show the problem more clearly. Just press CTRL + Shift + S and start recording a video on Windows. As a daily Bing user I'm really curios to see this problem.Re: Stop forcing us to use Edge.
That's the same on Apple ecosystem. Apple is so much worse, they even outright deny EU's orders to open up their ecosystem. Microsoft now allows people in the EU to completely remove Edge browser. Can you do the same on Android? no, can you do it on Chromebook? no, IOS? no, Mac OS? no. I mean we should be realistic here, it's totally unfair to just ignore all other ecosystems that are far worse and keep singling out Microsoft.Re: Edge container tabs

Most don't expect it to do anything about privacy or tracking as people think. They just want the productivity benefit of it, nothing else. Jokes aside, I and many others are fully aware that it's all containers do, that's all we want them to do, so that you can have 2 sessions on the same website without having to resort to private windows or secondary profiles, which accomplish the same goal but with a lot more inconvenience. Think of this request as nothing more than not having to create separate profiles for the browser and just let us have separated cookie sessions so that YouTube Music can just run in a tab without us having to go switching profiles when we decide to go watch YouTube videos. Well since the goal is not hiding your alternative account, most websites offer account switching capability, Google, YouTube, Microsoft, Discord, Facebook etc. all have it, so might as well use that feature. There are also lots of PWAs in Microsoft Store, they have separate cookie storage than Edge browser so they can be used too. Windows also natively supports Android apps so YouTube, Spotify, Discord, Telegram etc. can have their own native apps running next to other programs. And of course there are Edge profiles. The point is that there are lots of alternatives already available and they are much better than waiting for container capability to come to Edge, if at all, specially since it barely offers any security or privacy benefits. Usually the teams working on a feature must evaluate its benefits to see if it's worth the time and money to develop it, security is a great justification, privacy is next in line, containers, at least the way Firefox implements them, don't satisfy either of them, just saying.
