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OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 109. This policy is deprecated as it served only as a short-term mechanism to give enterprises more time to update their environments and report issues if they're found to be incompatible with Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. It doesn't work in Microsoft Edge starting with version 109. Microsoft Edge includes a Hardware-enforced Stack Protection security feature. This feature can result in the browser crashing unexpectedly in cases that don't represent an attempt to compromise the browser's security. Using this policy, you can control the behavior of the Hardware-enforced Stack Protection feature after a crash triggered by this feature is encountered. Set this policy to 'Disable' to disable the feature. Set this policy to 'DisableUntilUpdate' to disable the feature until Microsoft Edge updates next time. Set this policy to 'Enable' to keep the feature enabled. Policy options mapping: * Disable (0) = Disable Hardware-enforced Stack Protection * DisableUntilUpdate (1) = Disable Hardware-enforced Stack Protection until the next Microsoft Edge update * Enable (2) = Enable Hardware-enforced Stack Protection Use the preceding information when configuring this policy.

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.
