Verified with Microsoft Edge 152.0.4191.53 — updated on July 10, 2026
Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 119, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Identity and sign-in User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge\Identity and sign-in Description
Allows Microsoft Edge to switch to the appropriate profile when navigating to a site that matches an entry on the IE mode site list. Only sites that specify IE mode or Edge mode are switched to the work or school profile. If you enable or don't configure this policy, navigations to URLs matching a site on the IE mode site list switch to the most recently used work or school profile if one exists. If you disable this policy, navigations to URLs matching a site on the IE mode site list remain in the current browser profile.

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.
