Microsoft Edge Update › Preferences

Time period in each day to suppress auto-update check

ComputerIntune-readyPol_UpdateCheckSuppressedPeriod

Supported on Microsoft Edge Update 1.3.33.5 and later

What it does

If you enable this policy, update checks are suppressed each day starting at Hour:Minute for a period of Duration (in minutes). Duration isn't affected by daylight saving time. For example, if the start time is 22:00 and the duration is 480 minutes, updates will be suppressed for exactly 8 hours, regardless of whether daylight saving time starts or ends during this period. If you disable or don't configure this policy, update checks aren't suppressed during any specific period. The values for this policy can range from 0 to 23 for hours, 0 to 59 for minutes and 0 to 960 for duration in minutes.

  • 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.
