Gunnar-Haslinger Robert_Holcombe TairikuOkami Thank you for your feedback and reaching out!  I've heard an update from the team.  In scenarios where there is only a single MSA profile and no work profile configured, policies should not be filtered out.  They just made this update, and the change should already be available in Stable 116.  

 

Please test and let us know if you are still having issues.  Thanks!

Thanks Kelly_Y, but I checked both Edge Stable 116.0.1938.54 as well as Beta 116.0.1938.54 ... no newer update is offered and behaviour is as already described, only one single MSA Profile is configured and the policies show up as "ignored" as already screenshotted.

    Gunnar-Haslinger I believe this change is not being delivered via new Microsoft Edge versions.  Could you try restarting or signing out and then signing back in with the MSA account to see if the behavior has changed?  Thanks!

      This situation is unacceptable, and I've already pushed out a rollback to 115.0.1901.203 through group policy. Edge must respect all policy settings for all profiles.

      Can I / we have some confirmation whether this is a bug or an intended feature? If it's the latter, I would suggest that Microsoft needs to reassess ASAP.

        We've been getting a ton of help desk tickets on this issue. We use Compatibility Mode for a few critical internal applications, and this update has prevented most of my customers from accessing those sites. We've been signing users out as mentioned above and that worked for some, but most of the customers we've had to remove the profile. We didn't realize at the time, but this also removed the customer's Favorites. So now we have upset customers on top of it.

      • Restarting Edge Browser doesn't change anything
      • Sign out from MSA and restart Browser: now (with disabled sync) the Policies are OK and work
      • Sign in again to enable Sync, restart Browser -> Problem is back, Policies show up "ignored" and don't work as before.
