Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 96. Support for AppCache and this policy was removed from Microsoft Edge starting in version 97. If you set this policy to true, the AppCache is enabled, even when AppCache in Microsoft Edge isn't available by default. If you set this policy to false, or don't set it, AppCache follows defaults of Microsoft Edge.

BETAConfigure the state, scope and options, then generate .reg, PowerShell, Intune and SCCM outputs — or add the setting to a multi-setting collection.
These exports write the registry — this is not a managed GPO. ⓘ
Applying both scopes creates an ambiguous configuration (computer takes precedence over user). Only do this intentionally.
