Microsoft Edge Update › Proxy Server
Address or URL of proxy server
Supported on Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.21.81 and later
What it does
Allows you to specify the URL of the proxy server for Microsoft Edge Update to use. If you enable this policy, you can set the proxy server URL used by Microsoft Edge Update in your organization. This policy is applied only if you have selected manual proxy settings in the 'Choose how to specify a proxy server settings' policy. Don't configure this policy if you have selected a proxy setting other than manual in the 'Choose how to specify a proxy server settings' policy.

- The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
- Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
