What is "Policy" Used For?

As a system's built-in browser, Edge is complex and often redundant. Moreover, Microsoft frequently "recommends" unwanted features through pop-ups and notifications.

By configuring policies, we can customize Edge's functionality to better suit our usage habits.

For example:

  • Disabling the EdgeCollectionsEnabled policy can turn off the Collections feature.
  • Disabling the ShowPDFDefaultRecommendationsEnabled policy can prevent the pop-up recommendation to Set Microsoft Edge as default PDF reader .
  • Disabling the AllowSurfGame policy can prevent access to the Surf Game .
  • Enabling the DoubleClickCloseTabEnabled policy can enable the double-click tab closing feature (only available in China, at least according to the documentation).

More policy recommendations can be found in this blog.
