Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Edge Description
Starting in Microsoft Edge version 145, users with Microsoft Entra ID profiles will see an informational page about new Edge for Business features after major browser updates. This page highlights recent enhancements designed to promote secure and productive browsing. This policy controls whether users with Microsoft Entra ID profiles see this informational page. This policy applies only to Microsoft Entra ID profiles and does not apply to Microsoft account (MSA) profiles. This policy is available starting in Microsoft Edge version 144 to allow configuration ahead of the changes introduced in version 145. If you enable this policy or do not configure it, Microsoft Edge shows the informational page by default. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge does not show the informational page to users.
Registry
Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge Value name: WhatsNewPageForEntraProfilesEnabled
Enabled: WhatsNewPageForEntraProfilesEnabled = 1
Disabled: WhatsNewPageForEntraProfilesEnabled = 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.
