AutoFill allows users to complete address fields in web forms using previously saved information. If you have disabled this policy, Microsoft Edge doesn't suggest, fill in, or save address information. AutoFill is also disabled for all web forms except payment and password fields, and previously saved addresses aren't available. If you disable this policy, then 'EdgeAutofillMlEnabled' (Machine learning powered autofill suggestions) is turned off. If you disable this policy, all activities for all web forms are stopped, except payment and password forms. No further entries are saved, and Microsoft Edge doesn't suggest or AutoFill any previous entries.

Microsoft Edge will use OneAuth for sign-in on Windows without requiring this policy. The policy is deprecated starting in version 155 and is planned to become obsolete in version 161. No configuration change or replacement policy is needed to continue using OneAuth. ]This policy allows users to decide whether to use the OneAuth library for sign-in and token fetch in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 RS3 and later. If you disable or don't configure this policy, sign-in process uses Windows Account Manager. Microsoft Edge would be able to use accounts you signed in to Windows, Microsoft Office, or other Microsoft applications for sign in, without the need for a password. Or, you can provide valid account and password to sign in, which are stored in Windows Account Manager for future usage. You can investigate all accounts stored in Windows Account Manager through Windows Settings -> Accounts -> Email and accounts page. If you enable this policy, OneAuth authentication flow is used for account sign in. The OneAuth authentication flow has fewer dependencies and works without Windows shell. The account you use isn't stored in the Email and accounts page. This policy only takes effect on Windows 10 RS3 and later. On Windows 10 earlier to RS3, OneAuth is used for authentication in Microsoft Edge by default.

Controls whether users can access developer tools in Microsoft Edge. [added: This policy also applies to direct Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) connections (for example, connections that use --remote-debugging-port or --remote-debugging-pipe) and CDP connections through the chrome.debugger extension API. The 'RemoteDebuggingAllowed' (Allow remote debugging) policy controls whether users can use remote debugging. When remote debugging is allowed, this policy still controls which targets can be inspected. ]If you set this policy to 'DeveloperToolsDisallowedForForceInstalledExtensions' (default), users can access developer tools and the JavaScript console, except in the context of extensions installed by enterprise policy. If you set this policy to 'DeveloperToolsAllowed', users can access developer tools and the JavaScript console in all contexts, including extensions installed by enterprise policy. If you set this policy to 'DeveloperToolsDisallowed', users cannot access developer tools or inspect website elements. Keyboard shortcuts, menu options, and context menu entries that open developer tools or the JavaScript console are disabled. As of version 99, this policy also controls access to the 'View page source' feature. If you set this policy to 'DeveloperToolsDisallowed', users cannot view page source through keyboard shortcuts or the context menu. To fully block source viewing, add 'view-source:*' to the 'URLBlocklist' (Block access to a list of URLs) policy. As of version 119, this policy also controls whether developer mode for Isolated Web Apps can be enabled. As of version 128, this policy does not control developer mode on the extensions page if the 'ExtensionDeveloperModeSettings' (Control the availability of developer mode on extensions page) policy is configured.

Developer tools availability is determined by the first applicable rule below: 1. If a URL matches a pattern in 'DeveloperToolsAvailabilityAllowlist',] developer tools are allowed. 2.

The policy will remain supported for a minimum of 6 major releases and is planned to become obsolete starting in Microsoft Edge WebView2 version 162. Once obsolete, organizations will no longer be able to use this policy to opt WebView2 applications out of the new PDF reader. Your organization should remove this policy before it becomes obsolete. ]This policy configures WebView2 applications to launch the new version of the PDF reader that's powered by Adobe Acrobat's PDF reader. The new PDF reader ensures that there's no loss of functionality and delivers an enhanced PDF experience. This experience includes richer rendering, improved performance, strong security for PDF file handling, and greater accessibility. If this policy is specified for an application, it is possible that it may impact other related applications as well. The policy is applied to all WebView2s sharing the same WebView2 user data folder. These WebView2s could potentially belong to multiple applications if those applications, which are likely from the same product family, are designed to share the same user data folder. Use a name-value pair to enable the new PDF reader for the application. Set the name to the Application User Model ID or the executable file name. You can use the "*" wildcard as value name to apply to all applications. Set the Value to true to enable the new reader or set it to false to use the existing one. If you enable this policy for the specified WebView2 applications, they will use the new Adobe Acrobat powered PDF reader to open all PDF files. If you disable the policy for the specified WebView2 applications or don't configure it, they will use the existing PDF reader to open all PDF files.
