Change history for Microsoft Edge

Discover what's new and updated in the Microsoft Edge for both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile.

2018

Applies to: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
Preview build 17713+

The Microsoft Edge team introduces new Group Policies and MDM Settings for the Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 17713+. The new policies allow IT administrators to enable/disable full-screen mode, printing, favorites bar, saving history. You can also prevent certificate error overrides, and configure New tab page, Home button and startup options, as well as manage extensions.

We are discontinuing the Configure Favorites group policy. Use the Provision Favorites instead.

You can find the Microsoft Edge Group Policy settings in the following location of the Group Policy Editor unless otherwise noted in the policy:
