Advice Request Microsoft Edge is managed by your organization

[JB007]

Hello,
Yesterday I discovered this on my Edge settings : "Microsoft Edge is managed by your organization".
I don't know what that means because I don't work for an organization?
How to change this setting?



In English:
"Microsoft Edge is managed by your organization
If you use Microsoft Edge at school or work, this may be managed, configured, or maintained by your organization.
Your organization can configure or restrict certain features, install and block extensions, monitor activity, and control how you use it.
If Microsoft Edge is managed, you can view policies defined by your organization on the edge://policy page."

This happens when group policy settings affect edge settings.

Thanks @show-Zi for the explanations.
What is the solution to correct it ?

Tools like O&O ShutUp10 probably causing this "issue" as well, beside tweaks via group policy as said by @show-Zi

@JB007 You can searching Google and find known solutions... A few months ago, for me did the trick to check for related entries in Windows Registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge

As @silversurfer pointed out, security software may also be involved. It seems that the display disappears by deleting the registry key, but don't forget to back it up just in case.

O&O ShutUp10++ , DefenderUI and VoodooShield can cause this and probably other privacy and security tools.

The solution is to see and delete what is configured in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge and/or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge like @silversurfer said.

There is no "Edge" on my "current user" ?!



I'm not sure if I have to delete all these entries ? :

I recall, just deleted the full Edge folder (as shown on your screenshot above)

I found my bookmarked link, that was the solution for me...

Deleting the Edge registry key will reset all Group Policy settings to their default, unblock the locked Edge options, and remove the mentioned message.

Never used O&O ShutUp10++, but I tried DefenderUI and VoodooShield and uninstalled both.
