Office file viewer in Edge 96

Copper Contributor

Is there a policy to turn off the setting to "Open Office files in the browser"?  Right now users have to turn then off themselves in edge://settings/downloads.  We want to be able to manage this setting for the entire enterprise.  With this setting on, it is blocking downloads of reports from inside 3rd party sysetms.  Turning it off allows the downloads as the user expects.  This only occurs on the users that have been upgraded to version 96.

 

Thank you

It was pointed out to me that QuickViewOfficeFilesEnabled is the policy I want.
