Let users snip a Math problem and get the solution with a step-by-step explanation in Microsoft Edge (obsolete)
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 91-125, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
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OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 125. This policy is obsoleted because Math Solver is deprecated from Microsoft Edge. This policy doesn't work in Microsoft Edge version 126. This policy lets you manage whether users can use the Math Solver tool in Microsoft Edge or not. If you enable or don't configure the policy, then a user can take a snip of the Math problem and get the solution including a step-by-step explanation of the solution in a Microsoft Edge side pane. If you disable the policy, the Math Solver tool is disabled and users can't use it. Note: Setting the 'ComponentUpdatesEnabled' (Enable component updates in Microsoft Edge) policy to disabled also disables the Math Solver component.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: MathSolverEnabled
Enabled: MathSolverEnabled = 1
Disabled: MathSolverEnabled = 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.
