Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override)\Performance User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge - Default Settings (users can override)\Performance Description
This policy controls if users can access the Extensions Performance Detector Recommended Action feature in Browser Essentials. This feature alerts extension users if their extensions are causing performance regressions in the browser and allows them to take action to resolve the issue. If you enable or don't configure this policy, users receive Extensions Performance Detector notifications from Browser Essentials. When there's an active alert, users are able to view the impact of extensions on their browser's performance and make an informed decision to disable impacting extensions. The detector will exclude browser-managed extensions, such as Google Docs offline, component extensions, and organization-managed extensions (that is, extensions that can't be disabled). If you disable this policy, users won't receive notifications or be able to view the Extensions Performance Detector Recommended Action.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended Value name: ExtensionsPerformanceDetectorEnabled
Enabled: ExtensionsPerformanceDetectorEnabled = 1
Disabled: ExtensionsPerformanceDetectorEnabled = 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.
