Override for the CPU performance tier
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 149, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy allows you to override the value returned by the CPU Performance API (that is, navigator.cpuPerformance). If you enable this policy, the value of navigator.cpuPerformance is overridden with the specified value. If you don’t configure this policy, the default performance tier calculation is used. You can specify a value from 0 through 4. For more information, see https://github.com/WICG/cpu-performance.

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.
