Version 116.0.1938.54: August 21, 2023
Fixed various bugs and performance issues.

Stable channel security updates are listed here.

Feature update​

  • Microsoft Edge for Business. With native enterprise grade security, productivity, manageability, and AI built in, Edge for Business enables organizations to maximize productivity and security, and offers the ability to create separation between work and personal browsing with automatic switching between the lightly managed personal browser window (MSA profile) and the work browser window (Microsoft Entra ID). All users signing in with their Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) will automatically receive Edge for Business and see an updated Edge icon with a briefcase to designate they're in the work browser window. For more information, read our FAQ.
  • Option to attach the Edge sidebar to the Windows desktop. Users of the Microsoft Edge sidebar will be able to access their apps and sites directly from their Windows 10 desktop. As an opt-in experience in Windows 10, users can attach the sidebar to their Windows desktop by clicking a "popout" icon near the base of the sidebar in the browser. This enables a side-by-side experience that works with any Windows app — including Microsoft Edge itself. Users enjoy streamlined access to the same set of powerful AI tools and web-based services, including Bing Chat, without launching a browser window, enhancing productivity regardless of where they are in Windows. Additional features and options are planned in future versions of Microsoft Edge. Administrators can control the availability of this feature using the StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled policy.

MS in all it's wisdom has introduced this new feature. If you want to use policies at home, you have to use a local account. MS is basically asking users not to use MS account. :ROFLMAO:
So with Edge v116 all Users can just disable almost all Policies by just signing in with a Microsoft Account to sync their Favorites. Thats crazy.

For that use case, I think admins can just prevent users from login to Edge so nothing change for business computers. But it's annoying for home users who want to use GP.

Yes, it was suggested to use RestrictSigninToPattern. Hopefully MS fixes this, otherwise I am a goner.
I am already fed up with MS services not working (onedrive, onenote, edge, sync), this is the last straw.

EDIT: removed the autorun entry and after reboot it reappeared. Added a simular entry for Chrome, but Chrome autorun is blocked (because of GPO setting). Seems that some pigs are more equal than others :censored: Microsoft cheating again :)
