Recent Edge update attempts to sign-in to a profile every time a link is pressed from Outlook
Hi. In our set-up we only use local profiles for Edge. If a user attempts to sign-in anyway, they're met with a "Your system administrator has not granted xxx@xxx sign-in permissions", which is fine and has been fine for at least a year now. However, the recent 8/8 update has 'caused the popup to appear every time a link is clicked in Outlook(and opened in Edge) which has caused our helpdesk to get multiple tickets from annoyed users. I cannot for the life of me find the setting which triggers this. I assumed it was the outlook context from the sidebar, but a GPO that completely disables the sidebar still causes this pop-up to appear. I am aware we can use the "RestrictSigninToPattern" GPO to allow the users to sign-in, but we are not interested in allowing the users to sign-in at all. We simply want Edge to stop trying to sign-in every time a link from Outlook is clicked on, just like it was before the .200/.203 update. Does anyone know what can be done about this? Is there a GPO that stops this behavior? Is it an Outlook setting? A Windows setting? Can we stop Edge from even trying to sign-in? tl;dr how do we stop Edge from trying to sign-in when a link is clicked in Outlook?GPO, Sites to open when the browser starts

"Never save password websites" group policy needed
We just deployed Edge to 1000+ devices in our organization but have discovered unwanted save password suggestions from the Password Manager. When users access an internal webpage that uses some kind of integrated windows authentication/SSO/NTLM/Kerberos etc. meaning the user is not prompted for a username and password - the password manager still suggests to save the username and password! There could be many other scenarios in an enterprise where you do not wish passwords on certain internal (or external) websites to be saved, but allow it for others. It looks like Edge automatically populates a list of websites or URL's where passwords are "never saved" and when a website is on that list Edge doesn't prompt if the user want to save the password. It would be very useful for an enterprise to have a Group Policy where we could prepopulate this list with websites we do not want the browser to save passwords for. The browser should of course still fill websites on this list that the user clicks "Never" to save, but so that the list could consist of both websites populated from the group policy and websites added by the user.
Group policy setting to manage IE Mode cache
Hi sorry if this has been answered as I have not found an article that addresses this issue. I have a need in our organization to manage the setting "Clear browsing data for Internet Explorer" for our deployed Edge installations. Legacy app issues are needing to be cleared to work correctly and this needs to be done by policy due to the amount of clients I have to manage. I have the GPO for the standard "clear browsing data" key but that does not set the "Clear chosen data for Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer mode every time you exit Microsoft Edge" key to on. I could do this with Registry too if a GPO setting is not available but have yet to find this key info in my searches either. Would someone please let me know what can be done to control this setting? Thanks, Mac
PDF Application Clobbering are blocking my ability to use Edge by default for employees.
I would love to use Edge as the default browser. The ability to use enterprise site mode and the built-in IE mode are amazing but Chrome legacy browser support works OK and the PDF issues with Edge are just to much for me to change from using IE 11 as default (lots of legacy web apps here) and Chrome as our supported browsers internally. Generally if Edge would stop trying to be a PDF viewer it would already be deployed, less then a month after its official release. We pay lots of money for 3rd party PDF software that is critical to many aspects of our business and internal process flow to allow Edge within 10 ft of a PDF file other than to download it and open in that program I've got set these settings: 1) Settings -> Downloads -> Ask where to save each file before downloading -> Disabled 2) Settings -> Site permissions -> PDF documents -> Always open PDF files externally -> Enabled When my employee's click on a PDF to download it they are taken to the Edge PDF viewer and given a prompt that says the "PDF reader is disabled" and given directions to either turn it on or download a file. This means the Setting 2 above is not applied right as it shouldn't prompt. Of course they choose "Download file" but when downloading the file they are then prompted and asked where do they want to save the file( This means setting 1 don't ask where to save is broken). Then the file is downloaded to their computer where if they haven't set the option to always open a PDF with system viewer the file is downloaded breaking (setting 2) and not opening externally. Honestly this is a bad and confusing experience for my employees' they need the PDF in external programs as we are using many sophisticated features of 3rd party products that the builtin reader is useless for. It takes way to many clicks and way to much troubleshooting for the users to get PDFs to open in a way that our business needs them to for me to currently make Edge our default browser. Realistically the PDF's should be downloaded to disk by default once the setting to "Always open PDF files externally" is enabled and if the option is set to always open in system viewer that should work when the files are clicked, I also have not found a way to reverse the option to always open in system viewer certainly would be nice to know how to reverse that so I can figure out how to set that as default. I also need some officially supported way to prevent Edge from trying to become the default PDF viewer. I've yet to find a good way, my solution works but it's not good. GPO setting like "Do not clobber or break PDF usage on peoples computers" would be a good start.
We need GPO setting to block one word address bar search
We have enabled GoToIntranetSiteForSingleWordEntriesInAddressBar and thought this would block single word search in the selected search engine. That is not the case. There should be a setting to block single word search from the address bar. Even better if there was a way to split the bar into old school style url and separate search bar. The reason for this is that the one word searches leak internal server names etc to the search engine. Suggested setting: DisableSingleWordSearchInAddressBar ex. Current behavior: "server123" is typed in the address bar. Edge tries to connect to the server but fails because the server name does not exist. Browser redirects this as a search to the default search engine. expected behavior: "server123" is typed in the address bar. Edge tries to connect to the server but fails because the server name does not exist. Browser returns 404, site does not exist.Unable to enable Edge sync in Hybrid AD environment with Win10 VMs in Azure
Hello @all, I am currently facing an issue that I couldn't handle by myself. We are having trouble to enable the (new) Microsoft Edge sync feature for all of our users, when they sign-in to a published desktop/app with Win10 1909 as OS, running on Azure (Windows Virtual Desktop). When we try to enable the sync by "completing the sign"-in we receive the error "0" or "1067". Outside of the Win10 machines in Azure the users can sign-in to Edge as expected, e.g. it works in macOS, iOS, Android. Unfortunately we do not have any Win10 Client OnPrem to test this. Sorry, the screenshots are only available in German, but I think the behaviour should talk for itself. Does anyone solved the problem or facing the same issue? Any idea? Thanks in advance! Best Sandro
