Except when you have no dedicated GPU, as in my case.
Does it have any effect if you don't have an Nvidia GPU?
Dedicated GPU is not needed. I don't have a dedicated GPU. If you have a supported Nvidia/AMD card then it will use their super resolution feature and will show more fine-tuning options in settings, if not then it uses MS's own ML based video enhancing algorithm like it does on mine. I do not notice any extra CPU/GPU usage with it. Other Stylus userscript based alternative mimicking Opera's Lucid mode is more resource hungry. Not much but more than what Edge use by default or with Enhance Video turned on.
  • What’s the difference between Enhance video and Super resolution (preview)?
    Enhance video allows most users to experience boosted video quality without the need of specialized GPUs. Super resolution (preview) on the other hand uses machine learning to enhance the quality of videos viewed in Microsoft Edge by removing blocky compression artifacts and upscaling the video resolution, so you can enjoy crisp and clear videos without sacrificing bandwidth.

But what does this flag mean by capable GPU?
Feature requires a capable GPU.

I had an annoying sign in pompt in the form of a red oval line around the profile icon, even though I'm using a standard user account. To remove it, use the BrowserSignin policy in Edge Policies.

To disable signin on Edge for all users use the following regedit paths:
Code:
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Edge   dword = 0
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge  dword = 0

Edited for clarity.

I used repair option in settings and deleted all browser policies to check. Still broken. Can't open in new tab, new window or new private window.
And I just want to make sure you're talking about this, as to not be leading you astray from my end?
