Allow quick links on the new tab page
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 91, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Startup, home page and new tab page User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Startup, home page and new tab page Description
If you enable or don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge displays quick links on the new tab page, and the user can interact with the control, turning quick links on and off. Enabling this policy doesn't force quick links to be visible - the user can continue to turn quick links on and off. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge hides quick links on the new tab page and disables the quick links control in the NTP settings flyout. This policy only applies for Microsoft Edge local user profiles, profiles signed in using a Microsoft Account, and profiles signed in using Active Directory. To configure the Enterprise new tab page for profiles signed in using Azure Active Directory, use the M365 admin portal. Related policies: 'NewTabPageAllowedBackgroundTypes' (Configure the background types allowed for the new tab page layout), 'NewTabPageContentEnabled' (Allow Microsoft content on the new tab page)
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled
Enabled: NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled = 1
Disabled: NewTabPageQuickLinksEnabled = 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.
