Enable using roaming copies for Microsoft Edge profile data
Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 85, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Enable this policy to use roaming profiles on Windows. The settings stored in Microsoft Edge profiles (favorites and preferences) are also saved to a file stored in the Roaming user profile folder (or the location specified by the administrator through the 'RoamingProfileLocation' (Set the roaming profile directory) policy). If you disable this policy or don't configure it, only the regular local profiles are used. The 'SyncDisabled' (Disable synchronization of data using Microsoft sync services) only disables cloud synchronization and has no effect on this policy. For more information on using roaming user profiles, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2150058.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: RoamingProfileSupportEnabled
Enabled: RoamingProfileSupportEnabled = 1
Disabled: RoamingProfileSupportEnabled = 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.
