Update policy override

Specifies how Microsoft Edge Update handles available updates from Microsoft Edge.

If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge Update handles Microsoft Edge updates according to how you configure the following options:
- Always allow updates: Updates are always applied when found, either by periodic update check or by a manual update check.
- Automatic silent updates only: Updates are applied only when they're found by the periodic update check.
- Manual updates only: Updates are applied only when the user runs a manual update check. (Not all apps provide an interface for this option.)
- Updates disabled: Updates are never applied.

If you select manual updates, make sure you periodically check for updates by using the app's manual update mechanism, if available. If you disable updates, periodically check for updates, and distribute them to users.

If you don't enable and configure this policy, Microsoft Edge Update handles available updates as specified by the 'Update policy override default' policy.

See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2136406 for more information.

This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft® Active Directory® domain.

Supported on: At least Google Update 1.2.145.5
