Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Enables an ad-free search experience on Bing.com If you enable this policy, then a user can search on bing.com and have an ad-free search experience. At the same time, the SafeSearch setting is set to 'Strict' and can't be changed by the user. If you don't configure this policy, then the default experience has ads in the search results on bing.com. SafeSearch is set to 'Moderate' by default and can be changed by the user. This policy is only available for K-12 SKUs that are identified as EDU tenants by Microsoft. Refer to https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2119711 to learn more about this policy or if the following scenarios apply to you: * You have an EDU tenant, but the policy doesn't work. * You had your IP allowlisted for having an ad free search experience. * You were experiencing an ad-free search experience on Microsoft Edge Legacy and want to upgrade to the new version of Microsoft Edge.
Registry

Enabled: BingAdsSuppression = 1
Disabled: BingAdsSuppression = 0
Export Builder
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.
