Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
This setting controls the in-browser assistance notifications that are intended to help users get the most out of Microsoft Edge. This is done by recommending features and by helping them use browser features. These notifications take the form of dialog boxes, flyouts, coach marks and banners in the browser. An example of an assistance notification would be when a user has many tabs opened in the browser. In this instance, Microsoft Edge may prompt the user to try out the vertical tabs feature which is designed to give better browser tab management. Disabling this policy stops this message from appearing again even if the user has too many tabs open. Any features that have been disabled by a management policy aren't suggested to users. If you enable or don't configure this setting, users receive recommendations or notifications from Microsoft Edge. If you disable this setting, users won't receive any recommendations or notifications from Microsoft Edge.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: ShowRecommendationsEnabled
Enabled: ShowRecommendationsEnabled = 1
Disabled: ShowRecommendationsEnabled = 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.
