Group Policy and Mobile Device Management (MDM) settings for Microsoft Edge
Applies to: Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile
Microsoft Edge works with Group Policy and Microsoft Intune to help you manage your organization's computer settings. Group Policy objects (GPOs) can include registry-based Administrative Template policy settings, security settings, software deployment information, scripts, folder redirection, and preferences.
By using Group Policy and Intune, you can set up a policy setting once, and then copy that setting onto many computers. For example, you can set up multiple security settings in a GPO that is linked to a domain, and then apply all of those settings to every computer in the domain.
Note
For more info about the tools you can use to change your Group Policy objects, see the Internet Explorer 11 topics, Group Policy and the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC), Group Policy and the Local Group Policy Editor, Group Policy and the Advanced Group Policy Management (AGPM), and Group Policy and Windows PowerShell.
Microsoft Edge works with the following Group Policy settings to help you manage your company's web browser configurations. The Group Policy settings are found in the Group Policy Editor in the following location:
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge\
Allow a shared books folder
Supported versions: Windows 10, version 1803
Default setting: None
You can configure Microsoft Edge to store books from the Books Library to a default, shared folder for Windows, which decreases the amount of storage used by book files. When you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge downloads book files automatically to a common, shared folder, and prevents users from removing the book from the library. For this policy to work properly, users must be signed in with a school or work account.
If you disable or don’t configure this policy, Microsoft Edge does not use a shared folder but downloads book files to a per-user folder for each user.

Allow Address bar drop-down list suggestions
Supported versions: Windows 10, version 1703 or later
By default, Microsoft Edge shows the Address bar drop-down list and makes it available. If you want to minimize network connections from Microsoft Edge to Microsoft service, we recommend disabling this policy. Disabling this policy turns off the Address bar drop-down list functionality.
When disabled, Microsoft Edge also disables the user-defined policy Show search and site suggestions as I type. Because the drop-down shows the search suggestions, this policy takes precedence over the Configure search suggestions in Address bar policy.
