If you enable or don't configure this policy, component updates are enabled in Microsoft Edge.
If you disable this policy or set it to false, component updates are disabled for all components in Microsoft Edge.
However, some components are exempt from this policy. This includes any component that doesn't contain executable code, that doesn't significantly alter the behavior of the browser, or that's critical for security. That is, updates that are deemed "critical for security" are still applied even if you disable this policy.
