UndertakerBen/PorEdgeUpd

Affected by internet options and policies

Opened this issue · 1 comments

The execution of the Edge "created" is not computer independent, in the sense that it follows internet options and policies.
For example, if there is a policy to open a given page and not retaining previous session (tabs), the created Edge follows that (local) configuration.
Please change to allow use of portable configuration. (I looked for that to no avail...)
Thanks!

I have this as well
I think because the edge policies are here: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
I checked in edge://policy/ and it used the same group policies from my organisation - the same restrictions and shows as enrolled in my organisations domain. Also shows this at bottom of menu:

and for people seeking out a portable version of edge to bypass organisation barriers - normally HKEY LOCAL MACHINE is locked down (requires admin rights)

There is something around policy templates in this updater which could possibly fix the issue but I can't figure out how to use it!
