Supported on: Microsoft Edge version 122, Windows 7 or later
Path in the GPO console
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Controls sending URLs of pages visited and per-page usage in the Microsoft Edge optional diagnostics data to Microsoft to help make browsing and search better. This also includes identifiers and usage diagnostics of other browser components that can modify or provide content, such as extensions. This policy is applicable only if the 'DiagnosticData' (Send required and optional diagnostic data about browser usage) setting is set to 'OptionalData'. For more information on how Microsoft Edge diagnostic data levels are set, see the description of 'DiagnosticData'. If you enable or don't configure this setting, URLs are provided in optional diagnostic data. If you disable this setting, URLs aren't reported in optional diagnostic data.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: UrlDiagnosticDataEnabled
Enabled: UrlDiagnosticDataEnabled = 1
Disabled: UrlDiagnosticDataEnabled = 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.
