You can use group policy objects (GPO) to configure policy settings for Microsoft Edge on all versions of Windows. To configure Microsoft Edge with group policy objects, you install administrative templates that add rules and settings for Microsoft Edge to the Policy Definition template folder on individual computers.<\/p>\n

Get Edge (Chromium) ADMX Group Policy Templates<\/h2>\n

Microsoft Edge (Chromium) group policy template files are msedge.admx<\/code> and msedgeupdate.admx<\/code>.\u00a0msedge.admx<\/code> is to configure Microsoft Edge settings, and msedgeupdate.admx<\/code> is to manage Microsoft Edge updates.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Visit the Edge (Chromium) ADMX download page at the Microsoft<\/a> site.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the appropriate browser version, build, and bitness from the dropdown boxes in that link.<\/li>\n
  3. Then, click on the “GET POLICY FILES” link. It downloads MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.cab<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  4. Double-click the cab file and copy MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.zip<\/code> file to a folder.<\/li>\n
  5. Extract the contents of MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates.zip<\/code> to a folder — e.g., D:\\<\/code>.<\/li>\n
  6. Open the folder “D:\\MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates\\windows\\admx<\/code>“<\/li>\n
  7. Copy the files “msedge.admx<\/code>” and “msedgeupdate.admx<\/code>” to the following folder:\n
    C:\\Windows\\PolicyDefinitions<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  8. Open the subfolder “D:\\MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates\\windows\\admx\\en-US<\/code>“<\/li>\n
  9. Copy the files “msedge.adml<\/code>” and “msedgeupdate.adml<\/code>” to the following folder (for en-US<\/code> users):\n
    C:\\Windows\\PolicyDefinitions\\en-us\\<\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  10. Launch the Group Policy Editor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    The above instructions are for a standalone Windows (Professional and higher) computer. On Windows Servers, to add the Microsoft Edge administrative template to Active Directory, see the document\u00a0Configure Microsoft Edge for Windows<\/a> from Microsoft.<\/em><\/p>\n
    After adding the ADMX and ADML files to the respective folders, you’ll see these branches under Computer Configuration<\/strong> \u2192 Administrative Templates<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Microsoft Edge<\/strong> – This branch is where you need to configure the mandatory policies<\/a> for the browser. Users can’t override the settings. For example, you can configure Edge to block extensions or add-ons.
      \n\"edge<\/li>\n
    2. Microsoft Edge – Default settings (users can override)<\/strong> -This\u00a0branch is where you can configure your preferred default settings. Users can override the default settings.<\/li>\n
    3. Microsoft Edge Update<\/strong> – This branch has policy settings to configure how Microsoft Edge installs the updates.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      For the list of policies included in MSEdge.admx<\/code>, check out the two HTML files msedgepolicylist.html<\/code> and msedgeupdatepolicylist.html<\/code> in the\u00a0“D:\\MicrosoftEdgePolicyTemplates\\html\\en-US\\<\/code>” folder.
