Enables default browser settings campaigns
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 113, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This policy enables the default browser settings campaign. If a user selects to accept the campaign, their default browser and/or default search engine will be changed to Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Bing, respectively. If the user dismisses the campaign, the user's browser settings remain unchanged. If you enable or don't configure this policy, users will be prompted to set Microsoft Edge as the default browser and Microsoft Bing as the default search engine, if they don't have those browser settings. If you disable this policy, users won't be prompted to set Microsoft Edge as the default browser, or to set Microsoft Bing as the default search engine.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: DefaultBrowserSettingsCampaignEnabled
Enabled: DefaultBrowserSettingsCampaignEnabled = 1
Disabled: DefaultBrowserSettingsCampaignEnabled = 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.
