Policy or script to disable MS Edge pop-ups in Windows 10

  • 772

Is it possible to disable MS Edge pop-ups in Windows 10 for all users using group policy / registry settings?

After installing Edge (through upgrade to 20H2) I've seen pop-ups like these:

  1. system tray pop-up - browse internet with Microsoft Edge, new browser recommended by Microsoft for your computer
  2. taskbar pop-up - the new MS Edge is here, get back to browsing straight from your taskbar (mentioned here with news it will be worse in 21H1)

It would be great to get rid of those (and others too e.g. "Get the New Microsoft Edge" Popups). I've enabled policy HideFirstRunExperience, but it didn't make a difference.

    You can enable the following 2 policies, both in Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\cloud Content\

    "Do not show Windows Tips"

    This policy setting prevents Windows tips from being shown to users. If you enable this policy setting, users will no longer see Windows tips[...]

    and

    "Turn off Microsoft consumer experiences"

    This policy setting turns off experiences that help consumers make the most of their devices and Microsoft account.
    If you enable this policy setting, users will no longer see personalized recommendations from Microsoft and notifications about their Microsoft account. [...]

    Note that the second one is available only if you are using Windows 10 Enterprise or Education
